An extreme rainfall warning has been issued for parts of eastern Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Maharashtra as the India Meteorological Department flags red alert conditions.
Isolated areas could see rainfall exceeding 204.5mm, with the broader region expected to record between 115.6mm and 204.4mm.
The IMD has warned of flash floods, overflowing rivers and localized infrastructure damage in the affected regions.
The rain is linked to a well-marked low-pressure area over southeast Rajasthan and adjoining Madhya Pradesh, along with an upper-air cyclonic circulation.
A separate cyclonic circulation remains active over the northwest Bay of Bengal, while a western disturbance continues to affect Jammu and Kashmir.
Thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds are also forecast across several states, prompting advisories for residents and farmers.
