IMD forecasts Himalayan rainfall and snowfall and a developing low-pressure system over the southeast Bay of Bengal in November 2026.

By News National Editorial Team

NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather update warning of changing weather conditions across parts of India, including rainfall and snowfall in the western Himalayan region and the development of a low-pressure system over the southeast Bay of Bengal.

In its November 12, 2026, bulletin, the weather agency said a western disturbance is likely to bring scattered to fairly widespread rainfall and snowfall across the western Himalayan region until November 13.

Heavy rainfall and snowfall warning

According to the IMD, isolated heavy rainfall or snowfall is likely over the Kashmir Valley on November 12.

The western disturbance is expected to influence weather conditions across the Himalayan region, potentially affecting transportation and normal activities in some areas.

Residents and travellers are advised to follow official weather updates, particularly in locations vulnerable to heavy rainfall, snowfall and difficult road conditions.

Low-pressure system developing over Bay of Bengal

The IMD has also identified a developing weather system over the southeast Bay of Bengal.

A low-pressure area is likely to form around November 13. It is expected to move northwestwards and strengthen into a well-marked low-pressure area around November 14.

The department further indicated that the system could develop into a depression around November 15.

However, the bulletin does not establish that the system will necessarily become a cyclonic storm or make landfall.

What should residents and coastal communities know?

The development will be monitored closely because weather systems over the Bay of Bengal can influence rainfall and wind conditions across eastern and southern parts of India.

Residents in coastal areas should monitor official IMD bulletins and follow instructions issued by local authorities.

Fishermen should also follow applicable weather warnings and maritime advisories.

Conclusion

The developing Bay of Bengal system and western disturbance highlight the importance of monitoring India's changing weather conditions. The IMD is expected to provide further updates as the systems evolve.
