Delhi and other regions of North India can expect a spell of heavy rain and storms over the next few days as pre-monsoon activity intensifies. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned about severe weather conditions, including strong winds, dust storms, thunderstorms, and hail in several districts.
The IMD predicts intense rainfall in Western Uttar Pradesh for four consecutive days, warning of possible strong winds ranging from 30 to 50 km/h. Similarly, Rajasthan is also facing adverse weather conditions with the likelihood of thunderstorms, lightning, and dust storms.
Pre-Monsoon Activity Dominates Across Multiple States
In addition to Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, heavy rainfall alerts have been issued for Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Maharashtra (Central and Coastal), Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Sikkim, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Mahe, Puducherry, Yanam, Karaikal, and Assam. Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram also face a potential for heavy rainfall, according to the IMD.
The weather changes reflect shifting atmospheric patterns typical of early monsoon conditions, prompting authorities to issue warnings and advisories. These regions should prepare for possible disruptions as pre-monsoon activity could lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas and traffic congestion due to road closures or slippery surfaces.
People living in these areas are advised to take necessary precautions such as securing outdoor furniture, staying indoors during peak storm times, and following local authorities' instructions for community evacuations if necessary. Emergency services will be on high alert across affected regions.
