A cyclone is developing over the Bay of Bengal, prompting the Indian Meteorological Department to issue a rain alert for Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Delhi-NCR region.
A cyclone is forming over the Bay of Bengal, according to the latest bulletin from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The developing low‑pressure system is expected to intensify over the next 24 hours, drawing attention from coastal and inland regions alike.
The IMD has identified Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Delhi‑NCR area as the primary zones that could experience heavy rainfall and strong winds as the cyclone tracks northwards. Meteorologists warn that the storm’s moisture plume may reach these regions even if the cyclone does not make landfall.
In response, the IMD has issued a rain alert for the affected states and the National Capital Region. The alert advises residents to stay indoors, secure loose objects, and be prepared for sudden downpours.
State weather bureaus are coordinating with local authorities to monitor the situation and disseminate timely advisories. Citizens are urged to follow official updates and heed any evacuation or precautionary measures issued by local governments.
