The India Meteorological Department has placed a heavy rain warning over five southern states for October 26, while Delhi is expected to stay overcast.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a heavy‑rain alert for five southern states on October 26, citing an approaching low‑pressure system that is expected to bring widespread precipitation. The advisory covers the entire day and urges local authorities to monitor the situation closely.
Meteorologists warn that the rain could be intense in pockets, potentially leading to localized flooding and water‑logging in low‑lying areas. Residents are advised to avoid non‑essential travel, keep emergency kits ready, and follow any instructions from district disaster management officials.
In the national capital, the IMD forecast calls for a cloudy sky throughout the day with no significant rainfall expected. The overcast conditions are part of a broader weather pattern affecting much of the country, but the primary concern remains the heavy rain threat in the southern region.
