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

Monsoon Withdrawal Gains Pace
