The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather outlook for October 13, warning of rain, thunderstorms and heavy showers across several states.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released its weather outlook for October 13, indicating that rain, thunderstorms and heavy showers are likely to affect a number of states across the country. The forecast covers a broad swath of central, northern and eastern regions, with the agency highlighting the possibility of localized flooding in low‑lying areas.
Meteorologists cautioned that the unsettled conditions could disrupt agricultural activities, especially for farmers awaiting the monsoon. Travel plans may also be affected, as water‑logged roads and reduced visibility are common during intense thunderstorms.
The IMD advised residents to stay updated through official channels, avoid unnecessary travel in affected zones, and take precautionary measures such as securing loose objects and staying away from open drains during heavy downpours.
