Monsoon activity in India has shown varying patterns across different regions. In late August, increased monsoon activity was reported in Haryana, where the India Meteorological Department issued a yellow alert for heavy rainfall in areas such as Yamunanagar and Kurukshetra. Simultaneously, the Vidarbha region experienced cloudy skies and intermittent rain, leading to decreased temperatures in Nagpur.

By late August and early September, weather projections for Maharashtra indicated uneven monsoon activity. Significant rainfall deficits were noted, with Marathwada recording a 28% deficit and Vidarbha a 24% deficit. Despite these deficits, a yellow alert was issued for eastern Vidarbha districts, including Gadchiroli and Gondia, due to the potential for moderate to heavy rain and waterlogging. While localized heavy spells and thunderstorms were expected, overall rainfall activity across peninsular India was predicted to remain subdued.
