After an unusually wet August, India is likely to experience above-normal rainfall in September, with heavy to very heavy precipitation expected in northwest India and nearby regions, news agency PTI reported.

Most of India is likely to see above-normal rainfall, except for some parts of extreme parts of the northwestern part of the country, large areas of the southern peninsula, northern Bihar, northeastern Uttar Pradesh, and much of northeast India, where below-normal rainfall is expected, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
