The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday forecast another round of widespread monsoon rain across much of the country on August 6, with heavy to very heavy rainfall expected in several states across north, east, west and south India.

The IMD has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand, Odisha, Kerala, Konkan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, and Gangetic West Bengal. Meanwhile, heavy rain is also likely in Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu and other parts of the country.

Widespread rain

The weather department said the monsoon trough currently extends from Sri Ganganagar to Mizoram, passing through Rohtak, Shahjahanpur, Sultanpur, Gaya and Bankura along the way.

According to the IMD, a combination of active monsoon conditions, cyclonic circulations over Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Northeast India, and a western disturbance is set to bring more intense rainfall over the next 24 hours.
