Adding to this, Some pockets could record accumulated rainfall of more than 100-200 mm, while isolated higher totals are possible over parts of the Northeast.
Meanwhile, The developing wet spell comes even as the India Meteorological Department ( IMD ) has indicated that the monsoon season could end below normal, with seasonal rainfall projected at around 90% of the long-period average.
Notably, Developing El Nino conditions in the Pacific are among the factors influencing the broader seasonal outlook.
As per the latest buzz, ECMWF's ensemble and deterministic forecasts currently show the monsoon trough and associated low-pressure systems supporting a stronger flow of moisture into Central India.
In further updates, The core monsoon zone is likely to see widespread moderate to heavy rain, while northern and northeastern parts of the country could see more scattered but significant rainfall.
On top of that, Recent IMD bulletins have already reported heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places over East Rajasthan, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and neighbouring areas, pointing to an active phase.

Even if the seasonal rainfall total remains below normal, individual bursts of heavy rain can have a major impact.
