Weather Alert September 25: Heavy Rain Forecast Across 17 States, Strong Winds May Reach 85 Kmph

A spell of intense monsoon weather could affect large parts of India on September 25, 2026, with forecasts indicating heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and strong winds across several regions. According to the weather update cited in the report, as many as 17 states and regions could experience adverse conditions, while coastal and hilly areas may face additional risks.

The weather activity is being linked to a deep depression over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal, along with other atmospheric systems influencing northern and eastern India.

Strong winds could reach up to around 85 kmph in the most affected areas, according to the forecast cited in the source. Farmers, fishermen and people living in vulnerable locations have been advised to remain cautious and follow official weather advisories.

Heavy rainfall could also increase the possibility of waterlogging in low-lying areas, while landslides may become a concern in vulnerable hill regions.

Heavy Rain Forecast Across Several States

The September 25 forecast cited in the report covers parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.

However, rainfall intensity and wind conditions are expected to vary significantly from one location to another. Not every district within these states is expected to experience the same weather.

People should therefore follow district-level warnings and the latest official updates before making travel or outdoor plans.

Bay of Bengal System Could Bring Intense Weather

One of the main systems influencing the weather is a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal.

According to the forecast described in the source report, the system was expected to approach the north Andhra Pradesh-south Odisha coast near Kalingapatnam, between Visakhapatnam and Gopalpur.

Coastal areas could consequently experience heavy to very heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and strong winds.

Conditions over and around the Bay of Bengal could also remain rough, making official advisories particularly important for fishermen and others involved in marine activities.

Meanwhile, another cyclonic circulation was reported over northwest Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring areas at lower tropospheric levels, contributing to unstable weather across parts of northern India.

Delhi Weather on September 25

Delhi could see moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms or gusty winds.

According to the forecast cited in the source, wind speeds may reach around 20-30 kmph in parts of the capital.

Delhi's maximum temperature is expected to be around 33°C, while the minimum could remain close to 23°C.

Farmers, Fishermen and Travellers Should Remain Cautious

With thunderstorms and heavy rain possible across a wide area, people should monitor the latest official forecasts rather than relying only on a national-level alert.

Farmers should take precautions to protect harvested crops and avoid unnecessary work in open fields during thunderstorms. People should avoid taking shelter under isolated trees when lightning is occurring.

Travellers in hill states should be particularly careful on landslide-prone roads, while fishermen should follow official sea-condition and fishing advisories before entering the Bay of Bengal.

Weather systems can strengthen, weaken or change direction quickly. Therefore, district-level IMD nowcasts and warnings issued closer to the time should take priority over earlier forecasts when planning travel or outdoor activities on September 25.
