Overview

• IMD reports a low‑pressure area formed over the northeast Bay of Bengal on Sept 22, with another likely around Sept 25 that could intensify into a depression near the South Odisha–North Andhra coast around Sept 26 and cross around Sept 27.
• Yellow and orange alerts are in place for parts of South Bengal and all 30 Odisha districts, with squally seas and 35–55 kmph gusts forecast along the Bengal coast and an advisory for fishermen to stay ashore through Sept 27.
• Mumbai and the Konkan remain under a yellow alert after heavy showers on Monday; the IMD extended the alert to Tuesday for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar and Raigad as thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds persist.
• Civic officials in Mumbai logged at least a dozen incidents, including tree falls, partial house collapses and short circuits, with waterlogging and minor rail delays reported but no casualties.
• Hydrological strain is rising as Mumbai’s seven supply reservoirs are at about 99% capacity and Bengal authorities track Damodar Valley Corporation releases that could compound flood risk during Puja‑week rains.
