September 2025 Archive: Weather Alerts, Navratri Tips, Film Debate and IPL Forecast
Hey there! September brought a mixed bag of news on our site – from heavy rain warnings in the north to a cultural guide for Navratri, plus a heated film controversy and some cricket weather drama. Let’s break it down so you get the key takeaways without scrolling through each post.
Heavy Rain Alerts Across North India
On September 1, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) put Delhi‑NCR under an orange alert. Expect light to moderate showers in the afternoon, with temperatures dropping to a rare 22–25 °C. The alert also covered parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, urging people to stay prepared for sudden downpours.
Meanwhile, Kolkata faced a fresh depression from the Bay of Bengal. The city saw water‑logging in low‑lying areas, traffic snarls, and gusty winds that lingered into early September. Local crews ran pumps and cleared drains, but high tide made drainage slower than hoped.
Earlier in the month, Delhi‑NCR had already been on an orange alert through July 31, and that pattern extended into September. With the monsoon trough shifting north and a Western Disturbance adding moisture, the capital’s rain chances stayed high, though air quality did improve for a stretch.
Uttar Pradesh wasn’t spared either. Fifteen districts were placed under orange alerts while Lucknow lingered on a yellow alert. The state logged over 300 mm of rain in August, well above normal, and the trend was expected to continue into early September.
Cultural and Entertainment Highlights
Switching gears, we posted a detailed guide on Chaitra Navratri 2025. The nine‑day festival runs from March 30 to April 7, marking the Hindu New Year. Each day has its own color, deity, and offering. Proper fasting, prayers, and Kanya Puja are emphasized to attract blessings and avoid common slip‑ups.
In the film world, the Tamil movie “Bad Girl” sparked a heated debate after its teaser showed a Brahmin girl in a controversial light. Director Mohan G slammed the makers, calling out producers Anurag Kashyap and Vetri Maaran. Actor Shanthi Priya defended the project as a conversation starter, not an attack on any community.
On the sports front, the IPL 2025 opener between KKR and RCB at Eden Gardens faced an orange alert too. IMD warned of thundersqualls, lightning, gusty winds, and even hail. While evening rain probability hovered around 7 %, a sudden heavy shower could still disrupt play, and there’s no reserve day for league matches.
All these stories share a common thread: weather influences daily life, whether you’re heading to a temple, watching a movie premiere, or cheering at a cricket match. Keeping an eye on alerts and staying informed can help you plan better and avoid unwanted surprises.

The film premieres at the International Film Festival Rotterdam on January 31, 2025, in the Tiger competition.
Delhi rain on orange alert: Heavy showers and traffic snarls likely through July 31
IMD has kept Delhi-NCR on orange alert with heavy rain spells likely through July 31. Downpours on July 22–23 flooded key stretches and slowed traffic across the capital and NCR. The monsoon trough has shifted north, and a Western Disturbance is adding fuel to the system. Air quality improved to a satisfactory band for 11 straight days. Agencies remain on standby as intermittent storms continue.
Delhi-NCR Rain Alert: IMD warns of heavy showers on September 1 as temperatures dip
IMD has warned of rain and thundershowers across Delhi-NCR on September 1, with light to moderate spells likely in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures have dropped, with highs near 28–30°C and lows at 22–25°C, both below normal. Similar rain is expected in parts of UP and Bihar. Authorities have advised precautions in urban and hilly areas under orange and red alerts.
Kolkata rain: Depression drenches city, waterlogging and traffic snarls return with the monsoon
A weather depression over the Bay of Bengal has intensified monsoon showers in Kolkata, causing waterlogging in low-lying pockets and long traffic delays. The IMD expects intermittent heavy rain and gusty winds into early September. Civic teams ran pumps and cleared drains, but high tide and back-to-back showers slowed drainage. Commuters faced detours, slower public transport, and longer travel times.
IPL 2025 opener under IMD orange alert: KKR vs RCB face rain threat
The IPL 2025 opener between KKR and RCB at Eden Gardens is under an IMD orange alert, with threats of thundersqualls, lightning, gusty winds, and hail. While evening rain probability sits near 7%, heavy showers could still disrupt play. No reserve day exists for league matches; a minimum of five overs per side is needed. A later KKR-RCB game in Bengaluru on May 17 also faces rising rain chances.
Weather Forecast August 30, 2025: Delhi-NCR Rain Alert; Heavy Showers Expected in UP, MP and Bihar

Weather offices also warn of heavy rain in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar, with local flooding risks. Commuters should plan for delays and carry rain gear.
UP Weather: Orange Alert in 15 Districts, Yellow for Lucknow as Heavy Monsoon Rains Persist

The capital logged 307.8 mm of rain in August—52% above normal—and 542.7 mm so far this monsoon, 5% above the seasonal average. A western disturbance and cyclonic circulations are driving the surge. More moderate to heavy rain is expected into early September.
