New Delhi: The southwest monsoon is now advancing rapidly across India, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a heavy rain alert for 16 states. After entering parts of Bihar, the monsoon is expected to become active in Uttar Pradesh and neighboring regions within the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, over 20 states, including much of South India, are already witnessing intense rainfall.
The rains are bringing much-needed relief from the heat as temperatures drop across the country. However, the adverse weather has also led to strong winds in coastal regions such as Andhra Pradesh and tragic incidents, with at least 16 fatalities reported due to rain-related accidents.
