Weather conditions are turning unsettled across large parts of India as active monsoon systems continue to bring rain, thunderstorms and strong winds to several regions. A developing low-pressure system over and around the Bay of Bengal is expected to keep rainfall activity elevated in parts of northern, eastern, central and southern India.

For September 10, 2026, widespread rain and thunderstorm activity has been forecast across more than 20 states and Union Territories. Current reports citing the India Meteorological Department indicate that around 24 states could experience rain or stormy weather, although the intensity and alert category differ from one region to another.

Areas including Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand and several southern and northeastern states remain under varying levels of weather watch.

Low-Pressure System Keeps Monsoon Activity Alive

One of the key weather factors is the development of a low-pressure area around the west-central and northwest Bay of Bengal and the adjoining north Andhra Pradesh-south Odisha coast.

Such systems can strengthen moisture movement over the mainland and trigger fresh spells of rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds.

The current weather setup means that even as the monsoon begins weakening over some northwestern areas, rainfall may remain active elsewhere. Eastern and central parts of the country could continue to receive significant showers as the system evolves.

Delhi-NCR May See Clouds and Rain

Delhi-NCR is likely to experience a generally cloudy or partly cloudy sky, with the possibility of showers in some locations.

The maximum temperature is expected to remain close to 34°C, while the minimum could hover around 26°C.

Rainfall activity may become more noticeable again between September 11 and September 14, depending on the movement and strength of the prevailing weather systems.

Recent rainfall episodes have already caused significant disruption in the capital region. Heavy showers earlier this month led to waterlogging, traffic problems and flight diversions, demonstrating how quickly intense rain can affect normal movement across Delhi-NCR.

Uttar Pradesh Could See Thunderstorms and Rain

Several parts of Uttar Pradesh may receive showers during the day, with eastern UP expected to have a greater chance of scattered rainfall.

Some districts may also experience thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds.

Conditions in western Uttar Pradesh could remain comparatively less active in some areas, but localised showers cannot be completely ruled out.

People should pay attention to district-specific warnings because rainfall intensity can vary considerably even within the same state.

More Rain Expected in Bihar

Bihar is also expected to remain under the influence of active monsoon conditions.

Several areas have already received rain over recent days, and additional showers are possible on September 10. Thunderstorms and lightning may accompany the rainfall in some districts.

Wind speeds could reach around 30–40 kmph during thunderstorm activity in certain locations.

Residents should avoid open fields, isolated trees and exposed areas when lightning activity intensifies. Outdoor work should ideally be postponed during severe thunderstorms.

Rajasthan Monsoon Activity Remains Weak for Now

The monsoon has weakened over much of Rajasthan, reducing widespread rainfall activity across the state.

Relatively subdued conditions are expected to continue over Jaipur, Bharatpur, Ajmer, Kota and Udaipur divisions for around four days, while Jodhpur and Bikaner divisions could experience weaker monsoon activity for approximately five days.

However, this quieter spell may not last everywhere.

A fresh low-pressure system is expected to develop near the north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha coast around September 11. Its influence could bring another round of light to moderate rainfall over parts of eastern Rajasthan from around September 12.

Motorists and farmers should therefore continue monitoring local forecasts despite the present reduction in rainfall.

Rain Warnings Extend Across Several Regions

Current weather reports suggest rain or thunderstorms are possible across a broad belt of India.

States under varying weather warnings include Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, West Bengal, Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, Nagaland, Tripura and Mizoram.

This does not mean that every district in all these states will experience extremely heavy rainfall. Weather alerts are issued according to local conditions, and some locations may only receive light or moderate showers while others can experience much stronger storms.

Strong Winds Could Accompany Thunderstorms

Apart from rain, gusty winds are another concern in areas affected by intense thunderstorm activity.

Some forecasts indicate that wind speeds could rise sharply during severe weather, with stronger gusts possible in isolated regions. Reports covering the wider September 10 forecast mention storm-related winds that could reach 65 kmph or even higher in some places.

Such winds can damage weak structures, tree branches and temporary installations.

Residents should secure loose outdoor objects and avoid taking shelter beneath trees during thunderstorms.

Odisha and West Bengal Remain Important Weather Zones

Eastern India continues to be closely watched because of the evolving Bay of Bengal system.

Odisha and West Bengal can receive significant rainfall when low-pressure areas develop over the nearby sea. Depending on the path of the system, heavy showers could affect coastal as well as interior districts.

Residents of vulnerable areas should follow local weather bulletins because coastal forecasts can change quickly as low-pressure systems strengthen or shift direction.

Rain Likely in Parts of Southern India

Weather activity is not limited to northern and eastern India.

Parts of Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala may also receive showers or thunderstorms.

Kerala, for example, has weather alerts in some districts around September 10 and 11, with rain expected to provide some relief from recent warm conditions.

Rainfall distribution is expected to remain uneven, so some areas may receive intense showers while nearby districts see only short spells.

Take Lightning Warnings Seriously

Lightning is one of the biggest risks associated with monsoon thunderstorms.

People working outdoors should move indoors when thunder is heard. Farmers should avoid remaining in open fields, and people should stay away from electric poles, isolated trees and water bodies during active lightning.

Drivers should also exercise caution because heavy rain can quickly reduce visibility and create waterlogging on roads.

In hilly areas, sustained rainfall may increase the risk of landslides, falling rocks and road blockages.

Check Local Alerts Before Travelling

India's weather pattern on September 10 is highly regional. While some states may receive heavy or very heavy rainfall, other areas could experience only clouds, isolated showers or thunderstorms.

Travellers should therefore rely on district-level forecasts and official weather alerts rather than assuming that a statewide warning applies equally everywhere.

Those travelling through flood-prone roads, mountain routes or areas with a history of waterlogging should check conditions before starting their journey.

Rainy Spell May Continue Beyond September 10

The current weather pattern indicates that rainfall activity may continue beyond September 10, particularly as another low-pressure system develops near the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast.

That system could influence rainfall over eastern and central India and potentially revive showers over parts of Rajasthan in the following days.

For now, the key message is that large parts of India remain vulnerable to rain, thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds on September 10, even though the severity will vary considerably from state to state.

Residents should continue monitoring official weather updates, avoid unnecessary travel during severe thunderstorms and take extra precautions in areas experiencing heavy rain, lightning or strong winds.
