The Indian Meteorological Department has warned that the monsoon will move across the country on Sunday, bringing heavy rain to several states.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a nationwide alert on Saturday, indicating that the monsoon system will advance across the subcontinent on Sunday. Forecast models show a broad band of moisture moving east‑to‑west, with the potential for intense rainfall in multiple regions.
According to the IMD, the heaviest showers are likely to hit parts of central, eastern and southern India during the afternoon and evening hours. While exact state‑wise details were not released, the department cautioned that low‑lying areas could experience flash floods and water‑logging.
Authorities have urged residents to stay updated through official channels, avoid unnecessary travel in flood‑prone zones, and take precautionary measures to protect property and livestock. Emergency services remain on standby to respond to any incidents arising from the expected downpours.
The monsoon’s progression is a critical component of India’s agricultural calendar, and the anticipated rainfall could provide much‑needed relief to crops that have faced dry spells earlier this season.
