India’s long-awaited monsoon is finally gaining momentum, bringing much-needed relief from the intense summer heat. Over the next 48 hours, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rain alert across 15 states, as pre-monsoon showers and advancing monsoon clouds continue to drench large parts of the country.

The plains of western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand witnessed heavy overnight rains, leading to a significant dip in temperatures and waterlogging in several areas. While the full monsoon is yet to arrive in parts of North India, the ongoing pre-monsoon showers are offering a temporary reprieve from the soaring heat.

Meanwhile, North-East India is battling heavy rains and landslides, with major routes blocked in hilly regions. Parts of South India are also facing flood-like conditions due to persistent downpours.

Here is the latest IMD forecast for different regions:
