During a virtual press conference, Mrutyunjay Mchapatra, the Director General of IMD, stated that the country is projected to receive above normal rainfall in September, amounting to 109% of the long-term average of 167.9 mm. Significant rainfall, ranging from heavy to very heavy, is foreseen in the northwest region, encompassing Uttarakhand, portions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and adjoining areas of Madhya Pradesh. Mohapatra cautioned about the possibility of extremely heavy rainfall in these regions, which could potentially lead to flooding and advised vigilance against landslides, mudslides, and landslips.

Furthermore, Mohapatra mentioned the development of a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal each week, expected to bring substantial rainfall across the country.
