The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a nationwide alert for rain and gusty winds, while a heatwave continues to affect Maharashtra.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released a forecast warning of rain and gusty winds across the country. The advisory covers most regions, urging residents to prepare for possible heavy rainfall and strong gusts.
At the same time, the heatwave in Maharashtra remains unabated, with temperatures soaring above 40°C in several districts. Local authorities have urged people to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activities during peak heat.
The IMD’s bulletin advises that the weather pattern is expected to persist over the next few days, with the risk of flooding in low‑lying areas. Residents in affected zones are encouraged to monitor local updates and follow safety guidelines.
Meteorologists note that the combination of heat and wind can exacerbate the impact of rainfall, potentially leading to landslides in hilly regions. The department will continue to update its forecasts as conditions evolve.
