IMD forecasts active monsoon phase over central India for next five days

The India Meteorological Department has predicted an active monsoon phase over central and western India for the next five days. A low-pressure system forming over the Bay of Bengal is expected to drive increased rainfall across these regions. The enhanced rainfall is anticipated to ease the existing precipitation deficit and benefit ongoing sowing activities. However, authorities have issued red alerts in several states due to the risk of extreme weather events. The monsoon is also progressing toward northwest India, with full national coverage expected shortly.
