The 2026 monsoon season has intensified, causing widespread flooding, landslides, and fatalities across India. By mid-August, the death toll in Himachal Pradesh reached 187, with cumulative losses estimated at nearly Rs 973 crore. In Assam, fatalities rose to 104, with over 62,000 people affected.

As of early September, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued widespread alerts for approximately 17 states. In North India, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand, significant weather disturbances are expected, with hilly areas warned of potential landslides. In the North-West, heavy rain is forecasted to continue through September 13. Eastern and North-Eastern states, such as Bihar, Odisha, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura, are also under alert for heavy rain and lightning through mid-September. In the South, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry face thunderstorms and winds of 40-50 km/h.

By September 7, localized forecasts indicated light rain and cloudy skies for Mumbai, Pune, and parts of Maharashtra, while Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, experienced high humidity and intermittent drizzle. However, the IMD has since issued broader warnings for 16 to 20 states, including West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and winds reaching 60-70 km/h. Authorities have advised against unnecessary travel in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir due to landslide risks, and warned fishermen to stay away from the sea due to high waves.

A cyclonic circulation over the north Andaman Sea is expected to trigger a new low-pressure system over the west-central and north-west Bay of Bengal around September 11. This system, potentially forming near the coasts of north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha, may bring heavy rainfall of up to 100 mm within 24 hours. Yellow alerts are in effect for parts of West Bengal, including Purulia and South 24 Parganas, for thunderstorms and gusty winds.
