As it tracks across Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, the system is likely to trigger intense rain bands, thunderstorms and gusty winds over adjoining states.The weather agency has also noted the presence of upper air cyclonic circulations over southwest Uttar Pradesh, northwest Madhya Pradesh and northeast Assam, while a western disturbance over the western Himalayan region is expected to enhance rainfall over north India.The IMD has predicted fairly widespread to widespread rainfall over Delhi, Haryana and Punjab on July 29, with isolated places likely to receive heavy rainfall. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning are also expected, raising the possibility of waterlogging, traffic disruptions and reduced visibility during periods of intense showers.Rainfall activity is expected to remain active across the region for the next few days as the monsoon remains strong over northwest India.Central India is expected to remain among the worst-affected regions on Wednesday.According to the IMD, Chhattisgarh is likely to witness heavy to very heavy rainfall with isolated extremely heavy rainfall, while East Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha are also expected to receive extremely heavy rain in isolated places. Thunderstorms with gusty winds reaching up to 50 kmph are also likely over parts of Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha.The weather department has advised residents in vulnerable areas to remain alert as intense rainfall may lead to localised flooding and disruption of road transport.Odisha will continue to experience heavy rainfall as the Deep Depression moves further inland.
