The Indian Meteorological Department has extended red and orange weather alerts for several Uttarakhand districts until September 28, warning of heavy rain and landslide risk.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has kept red and orange weather alerts active for several districts of Uttarakhand until September 28, citing the persistence of heavy monsoon activity in the region.
A red alert signals the possibility of very heavy rainfall, strong winds and heightened risk of landslides, while an orange alert indicates moderate to heavy rain that could still disrupt daily life and travel.
The alerts cover multiple districts across the hilly terrain; authorities have urged residents to stay vigilant, avoid non‑essential travel in vulnerable areas, and follow instructions from local disaster management teams.
The IMD will continue to monitor weather patterns and may upgrade or lift the alerts based on evolving conditions. Residents are advised to keep updated through official bulletins and local news channels.
