Locally heavy rainfall will continue to inundate parts of north-central and western India this week as a monsoon low tracks westward across the country. This monsoon low will pack an extra punch, as it absorbed moisture from former Tropical Storm Podul as it spun over the Bay of Bengal last weekend.
By midweek, downpours will stretch from western Odisha and Chhattisgarh into western Madhya Pradesh, eastern Gujarat and southeastern Rajasthan.
Downpours will continue in similar areas into this weekend with a weekly rainfall total of 75-150 mm (3-6 inches) from eastern Gujarat to coastal Odisha. An AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 300 mm (12 inches) is possible.
These daily downpours will bring the risk of localized flooding and travel disruptions. There will also be a risk of mudslides in areas of rugged terrain. Aside from the risk of flooding, thunderstorms will also produce frequent lightning that will endanger anyone caught outdoors.
Downpours will continue to affect similar locations early next week continuing the risk for flooding and mudslides.
