The India Meteorological Department has issued red and orange warnings for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall affecting multiple states, urging residents to take precautions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday released red and orange alerts for severe thunderstorms and heavy rain across several Indian states. A red alert signals the highest level of danger, while an orange alert indicates a high likelihood of hazardous weather conditions.
The warnings cover a broad swath of the country, spanning parts of northern, central and eastern regions, where meteorologists expect intense convective activity and localized flooding. Residents in the affected zones have been advised to stay indoors, avoid travel on vulnerable roads, and secure loose objects that could become projectiles in strong gusts.
Authorities in the states under alert are mobilising disaster response teams, ready to assist with rescue operations and provide relief supplies if needed. The IMD has also urged the public to monitor updates via official channels and heed instructions from local officials.
DD News reported the alerts, emphasizing that the situation will be continuously monitored and further advisories may be issued as the weather system evolves.
