Weather Update: IMD Issues Rainfall Alert for Delhi-NCR, UP, Maharashtra and Gujarat - Check State-Wise Forecast
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh rain alert across various regions in the country, including Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. While the showers are expected to bring much-needed respite from the sweltering heat, they also come with a warning of thunderstorms, waterlogging, and landslides in some areas.
Delhi-NCR, UP Brace for Rain and Thunderstorms
Delhi and its neighbouring regions, including Uttar Pradesh, are set to receive moderate to heavy rainfall around July 14. With temperatures expected to dip by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius, residents can expect a short break from the heatwave. However, the IMD has warned of possible power cuts and waterlogging in key parts of the capital.
In Uttar Pradesh, several districts including Saharanpur, Moradabad, Bareilly, and Gorakhpur are likely to witness scattered to heavy rainfall on Monday. Thunderstorms and gusty winds may accompany the showers, prompting the IMD to advise people to stay indoors and exercise caution.
Hilly States Face Rainfall-Triggered Disruptions
Continuous downpours in hilly regions like Uttarakhand have triggered landslides, posing risks for locals and tourists. Authorities have urged minimal travel and strict adherence to safety guidelines.
Western and Eastern States Join the Rain Bandwagon
Beyond the north, rainfall is predicted in Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal. While the rains are expected to benefit crops, farmers have been advised against venturing into fields during the peak showers due to potential lightning risks.
Rainfall Extends to Maharashtra, Gujarat, and South India
In western India, Maharashtra and Gujarat are likely to receive rain over the next few days, especially in coastal areas which may face intense spells. Southern states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala are also on the alert, with IMD forecasting light to moderate rainfall in most regions.
While the monsoon showers are bringing relief to many, they also carry risks. The IMD recommends limiting outdoor movement, avoiding waterlogged areas, and staying updated with local weather alerts to ensure safety.
