A fresh monsoon system is expected to develop over the Bay of Bengal in the coming days, which may slow down the retreat of monsoon from central India.

According to weather experts, this system could bring another spell of widespread rain over Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, and parts of central India.

Normally, the monsoon begins to withdraw from central regions by mid-September, but this development may delay the process.

Farmers and residents in these areas can expect more moisture for crops, but also need to be alert for waterlogging in low-lying regions.

The delayed retreat highlights how active conditions over the Bay continue to influence India’s monsoon cycle.
