The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has projected widespread heavy rain and gusty winds for September 21, covering a total of thirteen states across the country. The forecast, released in its daily outlook, indicates that the weather system will bring sustained downpours and wind speeds that could disrupt normal activities.
Authorities have advised residents in the affected regions to remain vigilant, secure loose objects, and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in low‑lying and coastal areas prone to flooding. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any incidents that may arise from the adverse conditions.
