Similarly, until Wednesday, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands can expect similar weather conditions.
Additionally, Bihar may experience isolated instances of very heavy rain tomorrow, while both Tuesday and Wednesday could see such occurrences in Andaman & Nicobar.
Relentless rain has led to flood-like conditions in multiple low-lying regions of Bihar, as reported by officials on Saturday. In the past 24 hours, certain areas in the state received over 120 mm of rainfall, resulting in a substantial excess of rainfall amounting to 720 percent across the state.
The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall in Madhubani, Supaul, and Araria districts, along with an orange alert for heavy rainfall in six other districts.
