The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an advisory on September 5 warning of very heavy rainfall across multiple states. The alert, classified as a high‑impact weather warning, signals that intense rain could affect large parts of the country during the day.
Delhi, the national capital, is singled out in the forecast as likely to experience particularly heavy showers, prompting authorities to urge residents to stay alert. The IMD advises that waterlogging and reduced visibility may occur, especially in low‑lying areas.
Local officials are expected to activate emergency response measures, including deploying additional personnel to monitor drainage systems and issuing advisories to commuters.
