Weather
The monsoon season continues to disrupt daily life across several parts of India. According to the latest forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), multiple regions are likely to experience intense rainfall over the next few days. Northern India, especially Delhi, is bracing for heavy showers today, while the hilly states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand remain on high alert due to persistent rainfall.
Delhi Weather Update: Showers to Bring Relief and Disruptions
The national capital, Delhi, is expected to receive significant rainfall throughout the day. The IMD has predicted widespread showers accompanied by thunderstorms in various parts of the city. While the rainfall will offer relief from the ongoing humidity, it may also lead to waterlogging in low lying areas, traffic disruptions, and delays in public transport.
Commuters in Delhi are advised to plan their journeys in advance and stay updated through local weather alerts. Residents should also take precautions to avoid flood-prone areas.
Yellow Alert Issued for Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh
The hill states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are currently witnessing intense monsoonal activity. The IMD has issued a Yellow Alert for both states, indicating the possibility of heavy to very heavy rainfall in isolated areas.
In the last 24 hours alone, seven people have lost their lives in rain related incidents in these regions. Landslides, flash floods, and road blockages have been reported in several districts, especially in Himachal’s Mandi, Kullu, and Chamba, as well as Uttarakhand’s Chamoli and Pithoragarh districts.
Authorities have urged tourists and residents to avoid travel to hilly terrains unless absolutely necessary. Emergency services are on high alert, and disaster response teams have been deployed in vulnerable zones.
Weather Conditions in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
In Uttar Pradesh, the weather remains unpredictable, with scattered rainfall occurring in several districts. Central and eastern UP may see moderate rainfall today, but no major alert has been issued so far. Humidity levels continue to stay high, especially in Lucknow, Varanasi, and Prayagraj.
Bihar, on the other hand, is likely to experience light to moderate rainfall in northern and eastern parts of the state. The IMD has not issued any alert for Bihar, but local authorities are monitoring river water levels closely due to rising concerns about potential flooding in low-lying areas.
Nationwide Rainfall Outlook
Across India, the monsoon is expected to remain active over the next 3 to 4 days. Regions in the northeast, central India, and the western coast are also likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall. States like Maharashtra, Odisha, Assam, and West Bengal should remain prepared for possible weather-related disruptions.
As the monsoon continues its widespread impact, staying informed is essential. Citizens are advised to follow weather advisories, avoid unnecessary travel in affected areas, and stay in touch with local authorities for safety updates. The next few days could bring further challenges, especially in hilly and flood-prone regions.
