Eastern Uttar Pradesh is likely to experience rain and thundershowers for the next two to three days. Western UP is also expected to receive rain at some places on September 16. During this period, rain may be accompanied by lightning and b winds. Due to the low-pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal and the moisture coming from there, rainfall activities will intensify in the eastern and central parts of the state.
Bihar's weather has changed suddenly. On Sunday, Patna, Gaya, and Jehanabad experienced torrential rain, leading to a sudden darkening of the sky. The IMD has predicted that this situation will continue for the next five days in the state. A warning for thunderstorms, very heavy rain, and lightning strikes has been issued for the capital Patna. According to the meteorological department, heavy rainfall may occur in most districts of the state from September 16 to 19.

Unfavorable weather conditions are expected to persist in various parts of Maharashtra for the next two to three days. A Red Alert has been issued for Mumbai, while Orange Alerts are in place for Pune, Palghar, Ahmednagar, and Beed. Extremely heavy rainfall was recorded at some places in the Konkan region in the past 24 hours.
Rain in Jharkhand and Central India
Jharkhand is likely to experience heavy rainfall for the next few days due to an active system and cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal. A warning for rain with b winds and thunderstorms has been issued for parts of Northwest and Northern Jharkhand on September 17 and 18. Heavy rainfall is predicted for Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand from September 16 to 19.
According to the IMD, the weather in Delhi-NCR will remain partially cloudy with a clear sky from September 16 to 18. The maximum temperature will range between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius.

Continuous rainfall is expected in Northeast India's Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura until September 21. This could lead to an increase in river water levels and waterlogging in the region.
