India weather agency warns of heavy rain from Bay of Bengal system

Source: NDTV · 24 Sep 2026, 19:12 UTC

A depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring a fresh spell of rain to parts of India. The India Meteorological Department has warned of heavy to very heavy showers in Bengal, Odisha and other states on Friday, according to NDTV.

A depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring heavy rain to parts of India on Friday, according to NDTV. The India Meteorological Department warned that several states could receive heavy to very heavy showers. Bengal and Odisha were identified among the areas expected to be affected.

The forecast indicates a fresh spell of rain rather than a continuation of the weather conditions described in an earlier period. However, the supplied material does not state the depression’s exact location, its projected path or whether it is expected to strengthen or weaken. The report also does not give rainfall totals, warning levels for individual districts or details of possible flooding, transport disruption or other impacts.

No information was supplied about evacuation advice or emergency measures. The IMD’s warning covers multiple states, but the available summary names only Bengal and Odisha. It does not provide a complete list of the other areas included in the alert.

The immediate forecast is therefore for heavy to very heavy rain in several parts of India on Friday as the Bay of Bengal depression affects the region.
