Raipur: The southwest monsoon is gradually withdrawing from Chhattisgarh, and the state meteorological department projects mainly dry weather for the coming two days. Moisture‑rich clouds are expected to retreat, producing a short‑lived pause in rainfall.
The retreat line of the monsoon is advancing, allowing several districts to enjoy clearer skies during the next 48 hours. Over the past 24 hours, most areas have already reported dry conditions.
No Rain Warnings for the Next 48 Hours
Atmospheric activity will stay low throughout this period. Currently, no district in Chhattisgarh is under any rain or weather‑related alert.
