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.
