Amid scorching heat and widespread rainfall across the country, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a broad alert for June 30. The weather agency has predicted strong monsoon activity over several regions, with heavy to very heavy rainfall expected across Northwest, Central, East, and Northeast India.
Heavy to Very Heavy Rainfall Alert
According to the IMD, heavy to very heavy downpours are expected in multiple regions. Rainfall intensity may vary, but some areas could witness continuous and intense precipitation during the day.
Regions Likely to Be Affected
East & West Madhya Pradesh: Isolated Heavy Rain Expected
Isolated pockets of heavy rainfall are likely across East and West Madhya Pradesh. The IMD has also warned of thunderstorms and lightning activity, which may affect local conditions intermittently.
Jharkhand & Odisha: Widespread Rainfall Likely
Jharkhand and Odisha are expected to receive fairly widespread to widespread rainfall. Some areas in both states may also experience isolated heavy showers, leading to short but intense wet spells.
Northeast India: Continuous Heavy Rain Activity
States such as Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh are forecast to receive regular heavy rainfall. Persistent monsoon activity is likely to keep conditions wet and cloudy across the region.
Thunderstorms & Gusty Winds Likely
Along with rainfall, several areas may also witness thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds, especially during peak monsoon bursts. Outdoor conditions could become unstable in affected regions.
Delhi-NCR Weather Today
Delhi-NCR experienced warm and humid conditions on Monday morning as residents continued to struggle with uncomfortable weather due to the delayed monsoon. However, relief may be on the way, as cloudy skies and intermittent spells of rain are expected in parts of the region, which could help bring down temperatures temporarily.
Monsoon Strengthening Across the Country
The IMD has highlighted that monsoon systems are becoming more active over North and Central India. This strengthening trend is contributing to widespread rainfall and cloudy conditions.
