Rain and Thunderstorms Expected Across Multiple Regions on Oct 4, IMD Says

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released its weather outlook for October 4, indicating that rain showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect a wide swath of the nation. The forecast covers parts of the north, east, central and western zones, with scattered heavy downpours expected in the afternoon and evening hours.

Meteorologists warned that the unsettled conditions could disrupt agricultural activities, especially in sowing and harvesting phases, and may cause temporary delays in road and rail travel. Residents in low‑lying areas are advised to stay alert for possible waterlogging and flash floods.

The IMD has urged the public to monitor updates on its official website and mobile app, and to follow safety guidelines such as avoiding open fields during thunderstorms and securing loose objects that could become hazardous in strong winds.
