The Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (HPSDMA) announced a yellow weather alert today covering six districts of the state. The alert follows forecasts of intensified rainfall in the Himalayan region over the next 24 hours.
A yellow alert signals heightened vigilance; authorities expect moderate to heavy showers that could trigger localized flooding and landslides, especially in hilly terrain. Residents are advised to stay informed through official channels and avoid unnecessary travel in vulnerable areas.
