The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert warning of heavy rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds across several parts of the country.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert indicating that heavy showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds are likely to affect a wide swath of the nation. Meteorologists attribute the unsettled conditions to an active monsoon trough moving eastward, which is expected to intensify over the next 24 hours.
Authorities warn that the combination of intense rainfall and strong gusts could lead to localized flooding, water‑logging on roads and reduced visibility for commuters. Rail and air services in the affected zones may experience delays or temporary suspensions as safety checks are carried out.
The IMD advises residents to stay updated through official channels, avoid unnecessary travel, and secure loose objects that could become hazardous in high winds. Emergency services remain on standby to respond to any incidents arising from the weather system.
