The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that the southwest monsoon is set to advance further across large parts of the country over the next four to five days, bringing widespread rainfall even as isolated heatwave conditions persist in parts of central India. The weather office noted that the monsoon’s progress is gaining momentum and is expected to cover additional regions, significantly expanding rainfall activity across multiple states in the coming days.

According to the latest IMD bulletin, conditions are favourable for the monsoon to move into more parts of Maharashtra, the remaining regions of Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, and parts of southern Chhattisgarh. The advancement is expected to bring relief from pre-monsoon heat in several areas, while also marking the transition into a more active rainfall phase across central, eastern, and southern India.

The IMD has also issued warnings of isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya over the next six to seven days. These regions are likely to experience intense rainfall activity, which could lead to waterlogging, landslides in hilly areas, and disruptions in road and transport connectivity. Authorities have been advised to remain alert as river levels may also rise in vulnerable zones.

Meteorologists explained that the strengthening of monsoon winds and moisture flow from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal is driving the current surge in rainfall activity. This pattern is typical during the early phase of monsoon progression, when weather systems become more active and widespread precipitation begins to establish across the subcontinent. The IMD said that the overall monsoon movement remains on track, with gradual but steady expansion expected.

At the same time, parts of central India may continue to experience heatwave-like conditions in isolated pockets despite the advancing monsoon. Officials said the transition period often leads to uneven weather patterns, where some regions receive heavy rainfall while others continue to face high temperatures. This contrast is expected to reduce as monsoon coverage becomes more uniform in the coming week.

Authorities have urged residents in vulnerable regions, especially in the northeastern states and Himalayan foothills, to stay updated with local weather advisories. Disaster management teams are being kept on alert in anticipation of possible flooding in low-lying areas. With the monsoon expected to cover more territory soon, India is entering a crucial phase of seasonal weather transition that will significantly influence agriculture, water resources, and daily life across multiple states.
