The Indian Meteorological Department has warned of cloud cover moving from Himachal Pradesh towards Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, urging residents to stay prepared for potential weather changes.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather alert today, predicting a cloud band moving eastward from Himachal Pradesh into the plains of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. The forecast indicates that the cloud cover could bring scattered showers and reduced visibility in the affected regions. Local authorities in the capital and surrounding districts have been advised to monitor the situation closely and to inform the public about any changes in weather conditions.
Meteorologists say the cloud movement is part of a larger atmospheric pattern expected to affect northern India over the next 24 hours. Residents in Delhi and UP are encouraged to keep windows closed and to avoid unnecessary travel during peak cloud activity. The IMD will continue to update its predictions as the clouds progress.
While the alert does not foresee any severe weather, it highlights the importance of staying informed during the monsoon transition period. Citizens are urged to check official weather bulletins and heed any advisories issued by local authorities.
