IMD Weather Map Reveals Latest Monsoon Rainfall Patterns Across India
New Delhi, June 2025 – The India Meteorological Department (IMD), through its official portal mausam.imd.gov.in, has published an updated weather map detailing the current distribution of monsoon rainfall across India. This visual representation classifies states and union territories into three distinct zones based on rainfall intensity: Heavy Rain, Moderate Rain, and Less Rain. The map provides vital insights into the ongoing monsoon activity and its regional variations.
Regions with Heavy Rainfall
Several areas are currently witnessing intense monsoon showers. States and territories such as Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Mizoram, Kerala, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Goa, Arunachal Pradesh, and Manipur have been marked in the “Heavy Rain” zone. This pattern is consistent with historical trends, as southern coastal belts and the northeastern parts of the country traditionally receive significant rainfall during this season.
Areas Experiencing Moderate Rain
A considerable portion of the country is presently receiving moderate rainfall. This group includes Gujarat, Sikkim, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Jharkhand, Assam, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. The steady rainfall in these regions plays a crucial role in sustaining agricultural activities and maintaining groundwater levels. The broad presence of moderate rains reflects an overall active monsoon phase across several central, northern, eastern, and southern states.
States with Below-Average Rainfall
Some regions are currently receiving relatively lower rainfall, categorized under the “Less Rain” segment. This includes Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tripura, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Delhi, Chandigarh, and Ladakh. While light showers continue in these areas, the reduced intensity may impact regions highly reliant on monsoonal rains for agriculture and water supply.
Importance of the Monsoon Monitoring
This weather classification map by the IMD serves as a vital resource for decision-makers in agriculture, disaster preparedness, and water resource management. By providing a region-wise breakdown of rainfall, it helps authorities and farmers make informed choices during the critical monsoon months.
As monsoon patterns are dynamic, continuous updates from the IMD will be essential to track shifting trends and prepare for any extreme weather events. While several parts of India are experiencing favorable rain conditions, others remain vulnerable due to insufficient precipitation, highlighting the importance of vigilant monitoring and region-specific responses.
