The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has sounded a Red Alert for Assam and Meghalaya, warning of extremely heavy rainfall today. Uttarakhand is also under the same warning as North India braces for intense monsoon activity.
The forecast predicts continued heavy rain across North India, impacting states like Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar over the next few days. Coastal regions of Gujarat and the West Coast are also expected to experience significant rainfall.
IMD’s monthly outlook suggests that July will bring above-normal rainfall across the country.
While most regions are likely to receive normal to above-normal precipitation, parts of Northeast India, including Assam, and some areas in Northwest, East, and Southeast Peninsular India might experience below-normal rainfall.
The Monsoon Mission Climate Forecast System indicates a potential development of La Nina conditions in the latter part of the monsoon season, which could influence weather patterns.
In response to the Red Alert, authorities in Assam and Meghalaya are gearing up for the severe weather.
With heavy rain forecasted, there are concerns about potential flooding and landslides.
Local administrations have been placed on high alert, and precautionary measures are being implemented to ensure the safety of residents and infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Delhi witnessed light drizzles this morning, with cloudy skies and heavy rain expected in the coming days.
The capital's temperatures are forecasted to range between 27 and 33 degrees Celsius.
