The India Meteorological Department has issued a rain alert as a storm is forecast to affect Delhi, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and several neighbouring states today.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a rain alert for a widespread storm expected to move across northern India today. The warning specifically mentions Delhi, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, along with several adjoining states, as areas likely to experience heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
Meteorologists predict that the system could bring intermittent downpours of up to 50 mm in some locations, with wind speeds reaching 40-50 km/h. Such conditions may lead to localized flooding, waterlogging on roads, and reduced visibility, especially in low‑lying urban areas.
Authorities have been advised to monitor the situation closely and to activate emergency response teams where needed. The public is urged to avoid non‑essential travel, keep windows and doors secured, and stay updated through official channels for any further advisories.
The IMD will continue to track the storm’s progression and issue additional bulletins if the intensity changes or if the affected region expands.
