Deep depression to bring heavy rain across central, eastern India
The system is expected to cross the north Andhra Pradesh–south Odisha coasts by 23 September, with heavy to very heavy rainfall forecast across several states through 29 September as the southwest monsoon retreats.
A deep depression over the westcentral and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal is expected to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall across parts of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and neighboring regions of central and eastern India. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts that the system will produce isolated extremely heavy rainfall in some areas, with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds of up to 60 kmph.
The effects of the weather system will extend into northwest India, with rainfall expected in various states throughout the following weeks, as the southwest monsoon further withdraws from many regions.
