Fresh IMD maps this morning flag heavy rain over Odisha, Jharkhand and Gangetic West Bengal, with thunderstorms and gusty winds in places. Delhi stays mostly sunny to partly cloudy and dry, while Bengaluru may catch brief light showers. Kerala could see afternoon or evening thunderstorms, with marine advisories active offshore. Travellers should check IMD nowcasts and local alerts.
Gangetic West Bengal carries a Day‑1 heavy‑rain warning, alongside thunder and squally gusts around Kolkata. Jharkhand has yellow alerts today for heavy rain in Sahibganj, Pakur, Godda, Dumka, Deoghar, Jamtara, Dhanbad, Giridih and Bokaro. Odisha’s north and northwest belts face orange alerts in Baleshwar, Sundargarh, Sambalpur, Kendujhar and Mayurbhanj, with adjoining districts on yellow. Localised flooding and brief travel disruptions are possible.
IMD today: Delhi sunny; Bengaluru light showers
Delhi’s forecast indicates 25–34°C, partly cloudy skies and no heatwave warning this morning. Morning humidity hovers near 70 percent, easing toward 50 percent by evening. Expect mainly dry commutes; still, monitor nowcasts if stray convection pops up west of the city during late afternoon.
Bengaluru may see light, short‑lived showers from midday to evening, with many pockets staying dry. If clouds deepen, watch recurring choke points: Silk Board–Koramangala corridor, Panathur underpass, Hebbal flyover service roads, Outer Ring Road near Bellandur and HSR Layout. Build buffer time for airport runs and tech‑corridor drives.

Kerala thunderstorms and coastal advisory
Kerala stays hot and humid by noon, but isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms remain possible. KSDMA marine bulletins flag squally winds over adjoining Arabian Sea belts on September 10–12; small craft should monitor warnings closely. No general fishing restriction was posted yesterday, though conditions shift mid‑week.
Next 48–72 hours: rain‑belt shifts
The rain core lifts east‑north through Thursday and Friday, easing over south Bengal after today while spreading across Jharkhand. A fresh Bay low is likely near the north Andhra Pradesh–south Odisha coasts around September 11, potentially pivoting showers back into Odisha and coastal Andhra. Keep IMD’s nowcast dashboard and airport TAFs handy.
