Monsoon activity ravaged many parts of the country during the last one week. More profusely, the mountain states and plains of North India and the western state of Gujarat got battered with heavy rainfall. Courtesy of a low-pressure area moving across the central parts, later digging rather deep over South Rajasthan and North Gujarat as a deep depression, splashed decent monsoon showers. Large surplus rainfall was registered over Northwest India, Maharashtra, and some southern states like Telangana and Karnataka. The monsoon activity is likely to slow down, at least for about a week, between 08th and 15th September.
The deep depression over Pakistan will turn weak, and its remnant effect over Gujarat will effectively remain only for another 24 hours. There is no fresh active western disturbance likely across the mountainous states of North India. A lean weather belt will extend across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, North Madhya Pradesh, and West Uttar Pradesh. The West Coast, from South Gujarat to Kerala, across Konkan & Goa and Coastal Karnataka, will find the least weather activity.
The only weather system keeping the monsoon show going will be the persisting cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal. This system will meander over that region for the next 4–5 days. Later, it will move inland as a weak system on 12th/13th September. Still, its reach will remain limited to the coastal and central parts of the country. As the withdrawal of the monsoon draws closer around mid-September, these systems struggle to reach parts of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab.

During the next one week, the sub-divisions facing mild weather activity will include Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, North Madhya Pradesh, and the West Coast. Fairly widespread rainfall with moderate intensity is likely over West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, East Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana. The rainfall activity will get revived over Northeast India. Also, during weak monsoon conditions, the southern sub-divisions do get an uptick in the weather activity. Accordingly, Coastal Tamil Nadu, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, and interiors of Peninsular India will get moderate intensity showers. On average, the daily pan-India rainfall may remain subdued, as compared to the deluge witnessed during the last 10 days.
