Weather conditions across India are showing signs of change, with active weather systems over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. A well-marked low-pressure area over the southwest Arabian Sea, moving towards the Somalia coast, has brought rough sea conditions and strong winds to parts of the region. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall in several southern areas, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, with thunderstorms and gusty winds possible in some places. The developing weather systems are expected to influence conditions across parts of the country over the coming days.

Delhi-NCR Weather: Mostly Dry on October 23
Delhi-NCR is likely to experience mainly dry weather on Friday, October 23, with largely clear skies and sunshine during the day. No major rainfall activity is expected in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad on that day. Temperatures may remain relatively warm during daylight hours, while mornings and evenings could feel cooler. Haryana and Chandigarh are also expected to remain largely dry on October 23. However, the IMD’s broader forecast indicates that isolated rainfall may occur across Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh and Punjab on October 24 and 25, bringing a possible change in weather conditions.

Heavy Rain Expected in Southern India
Southern India is likely to remain the main focus of rainfall activity. The IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, while Kerala, Mahe and parts of Karnataka may also receive heavy showers. Lakshadweep and parts of Andhra Pradesh are among the other areas expected to experience rain during the forecast period. Thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds may accompany rainfall in some locations. Meanwhile, rough sea conditions and strong winds are expected over parts of the southwest Arabian Sea and areas near the Somalia coast. Fishermen and coastal residents should follow official weather advisories and safety instructions. Weather conditions may change, so people are advised to check the latest IMD updates before making travel or outdoor plans.
