India's weather pattern is undergoing a significant shift as the Southwest Monsoon 2026 continues its rapid advance across the country. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), monsoon conditions are becoming increasingly active, bringing widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds to several regions.
Over the next three to four days, the monsoon is expected to advance further into Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Northeast India, and parts of West Bengal and Sikkim. As a result, many states are likely to experience unstable weather conditions accompanied by heavy rain and gusty winds.
IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall across Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and the Vidarbha region between June 8 and June 13. Eastern and western parts of Madhya Pradesh, along with Vidarbha, may witness thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds ranging from 40 to 60 km/h between June 8 and June 11. These weather conditions could impact outdoor activities and agricultural operations in several districts.
Scattered to moderate rainfall is likely over Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir from June 8 to June 13. Meanwhile, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, and eastern Rajasthan are expected to witness rain accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds between June 11 and June 13. Weather officials have also warned that wind speeds in parts of Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir may reach up to 60 km/h during this period.
Eastern India is likely to remain under the influence of active monsoon conditions. Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim are expected to receive widespread rainfall between June 8 and June 13. Heavy rainfall is likely over Bihar on June 10 and 11, while Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness heavy to very heavy showers from June 9 to June 13. Thunderstorms accompanied by strong wind gusts reaching up to 70 km/h may affect parts of Odisha, Bihar, and Jharkhand.
Rainfall activity is expected to intensify across Konkan & Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Maharashtra, and Marathwada during the coming days. Konkan and Goa are under a heavy rainfall alert from June 8 to June 11, while isolated heavy showers are also likely in parts of Madhya Maharashtra. The strengthening monsoon is expected to provide much-needed relief from heat in several western regions.
Temperature Trend: Rise First, Then Fall:
Northwest India may experience a gradual increase of 2°C to 3°C in maximum temperatures until June 10. However, temperatures are expected to decline by 2°C to 4°C thereafter as rainfall activity increases. For most other parts of the country, no significant change in daytime temperatures is expected until June 13.
