As a low-pressure system is likely to develop over the western and northern portions of the Bay of Bengal, IMD has forecast rain in a number of states.
Low-pressure conditions over the northwest and west-central Bay of Bengal would cause light to heavy rainfall in a number of regions of the nation, including the northwest, central, and south of the country, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned in a statement on Tuesday.
Northwest India will likely experience heavy rain as the low-pressure system intensifies and moves closer to the beaches of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Due to an extended trough from southwest UP to the Bay of Bengal, isolated heavy rainfall and thunderstorms will be experienced in southern areas of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand through Saturday.
