The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning of heavy to very heavy rain in isolated pockets of Chhattisgarh, eastern Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand over the next few days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an advisory indicating that isolated locations across Chhattisgarh, the eastern districts of Madhya Pradesh and parts of Uttarakhand could experience heavy to very heavy rainfall in the coming days. The warning, issued on the basis of satellite observations and ground‑based weather stations, highlights the likelihood of intense downpours that may lead to localized flooding.
Meteorologists noted that the monsoon trough is currently positioned over central India, enhancing moisture convergence over the mentioned regions. While the overall state‑wide impact is expected to be limited, authorities have been urged to monitor river levels and prepare for possible water‑logging in low‑lying areas.
Local disaster management agencies in the three states have been advised to activate early warning systems, ensure that drainage infrastructure is clear, and disseminate safety instructions to residents in the affected zones. Residents are recommended to stay updated through official channels and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rain.
The IMD will continue to issue updates as the situation evolves, with the next bulletin scheduled for later this week.
