The India Meteorological Department has issued an alert for intense rainfall on November 11 across Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Uttarakhand, urging residents to take precautions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a heavy‑rain warning for three states on Thursday, forecasting significant precipitation on November 11. Meteorologists expect the western coastal belt of Tamil Nadu, the northern plains of West Bengal and the hilly terrain of Uttarakhand to receive the brunt of the downpours.
The alert advises local authorities to activate emergency response plans, clear drainage systems and inform the public about possible flooding or landslides, especially in low‑lying and slope‑prone areas. Residents are urged to keep emergency kits ready and avoid unnecessary travel during the peak of the rain.
IMD’s forecast is based on an approaching low‑pressure system that is expected to intensify over the Bay of Bengal before moving inland. The department will continue to monitor the situation and issue further updates as the weather evolves.
Authorities in the three states have been instructed to coordinate with disaster management agencies and ensure that relief measures are in place. The warning comes amid a broader monsoon season that has already seen sporadic heavy rains across the country.
Citizens are encouraged to stay tuned to official bulletins and heed any instructions from local officials to minimise the impact of the expected heavy rainfall.
