India Meteorological Department forecasts heavy rainfall and flood risks in eastern states

The India Meteorological Department has issued warnings for heavy to extremely heavy rainfall across eastern, northern, and southern India due to the formation of dual low-pressure systems. The weather office anticipates that these systems will bring prolonged downpours over the coming week, specifically increasing the risk of flash floods in low-lying areas of Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand.

What Happened

The India Meteorological Department has identified two upcoming low-pressure systems expected to impact weather conditions across eastern India. A cyclonic circulation currently situated over southern Gangetic West Bengal and Bangladesh is projected to intensify into a low-pressure area within 24 hours. Additionally, a second system is expected to develop over the northwest Bay of Bengal around August 12, which is forecast to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall to northern and coastal Odisha.

These weather patterns follow a period of significant rainfall that has already caused flooding in parts of Odisha. Regional authorities and the India Meteorological Department have warned that the incoming systems could exacerbate existing flood conditions and pose further risks to low-lying regions. Residents in affected districts have been advised to prepare for continued heavy precipitation throughout the week.
