What Is Causing the Changing Weather Across India?
The changing weather pattern is linked to multiple atmospheric systems.
The remnants of Cyclonic Storm Arnab have weakened into a low-pressure system over central India. This system continues to influence rainfall activity across Chhattisgarh and neighbouring regions.
At the same time, atmospheric conditions over the Bay of Bengal are contributing to the possibility of further rainfall along parts of the eastern and southeastern coastline.
These weather systems, combined with regional atmospheric circulation, are producing different weather conditions across northern, central, eastern and southern India.
Weather Safety Advisory: What Should People Do?
With thunderstorms, lightning and heavy rainfall expected in several regions, people should take basic precautions.
- Avoid standing under isolated trees during thunderstorms.
- Stay away from open fields and exposed locations during lightning activity.
- Follow official IMD and local administration alerts.
- Avoid travelling through flooded roads and waterlogged areas.
- People in hilly regions should remain cautious about landslides and sudden changes in weather.
- Fishermen and coastal communities should follow official marine weather advisories.
The Bottom Line
October 31, 2026, is expected to bring a mixed weather pattern across India. While Delhi-NCR may experience relatively pleasant conditions after recent rainfall, several eastern, northeastern, central and southern states remain vulnerable to showers, thunderstorms and localised heavy rainfall.
Arunachal Pradesh, coastal Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are among the regions facing heavy rainfall possibilities, while Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana may experience thunderstorms and gusty winds.
As November begins, rainfall activity could intensify in selected regions. Residents should stay updated with district-level IMD advisories and plan outdoor travel accordingly.
