The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning of heavy rainfall for nine states, while Delhi is likely to see only light rain.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather outlook indicating that nine states are poised to receive heavy rainfall in the coming days. The forecast highlights the potential for intense downpours that could affect daily activities and raise flood concerns in the affected regions.
In the national capital, the IMD expects only light rain, with intermittent showers rather than the severe conditions seen elsewhere. Residents are advised to stay updated through official channels and take routine precautions.
Authorities in the states forecasted for heavy rain have been urged to monitor water levels, ensure drainage systems are clear, and be prepared for possible disruptions. The IMD will continue to issue updates as the situation evolves.
