The India Meteorological Department has issued an alert forecasting heavy rain, strong storms and possible snowfall in several states over the coming days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather alert today indicating that heavy rainfall, intense thunderstorms and, in higher‑altitude regions, snowfall are likely to affect a number of states in the next 48‑72 hours. Meteorologists highlighted that the western Himalayas, parts of the northern plains and the northeastern belt could see the most pronounced impacts, with rain accumulations expected to exceed 100 mm in some districts.
The agency warned that the combination of strong winds and downpours may trigger flash floods, landslides and disruptions to transport networks, especially in hilly terrain. Authorities in the affected areas have been advised to activate emergency response teams, clear drainage channels and keep roads open where safe.
Residents have been urged to stay updated through local media and official IMD bulletins, avoid non‑essential travel during the peak of the storms, and secure property against water damage. The alert will be reviewed periodically as the weather system evolves.
