Heavy Rainfall Alert Issued for Multiple States; Red Alert in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall warning for several states due to a deep depression over northeast Madhya Pradesh and a low-pressure system over West Rajasthan. On August 4, this weather system is expected to impact Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh with significant rainfall.
As of 11:30 PM, the deep depression is centered about 50 km north-northeast of Satna, 80 km northwest of Sidhi, and 130 km east of Khajuraho. It is moving west-northwest at 30 kmph and is anticipated to weaken into a depression over the next 24 hours as it progresses across north Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Uttar Pradesh. Meanwhile, the low-pressure area, which was previously located over southwest Rajasthan, has shifted westward and is now over West Rajasthan and adjoining Pakistan. This system is expected to continue moving westwards, affecting regional weather conditions.
The IMD forecasts light to moderate rainfall for Jharkhand, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh, with heavy rainfall expected in isolated areas on August 4. East Madhya Pradesh will experience heavy to very heavy and extremely heavy rainfall at isolated locations, while West Madhya Pradesh is forecasted for similar conditions on August 4, extending into August 5. East Uttar Pradesh is likely to see heavy to very heavy rainfall at multiple sites, with West Uttar Pradesh experiencing similar conditions at isolated spots.
In Rajasthan, East Rajasthan is projected to receive extremely heavy rainfall at isolated locations on August 4, with heavy rainfall continuing on August 5 and 6. West Rajasthan is expected to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places on August 4 and 5. Additionally, the Gujarat region, including Saurashtra and Kutch, is predicted to face heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated spots on August 4.
