Widespread Rainfall Expected in Eastern and Northeastern States
The IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall across Northeast India, with heavy showers likely in isolated areas. States such as Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Mizoram have already begun witnessing intense rainfall, triggering flood-like conditions in low-lying areas.
Monsoon has now officially entered Nagaland, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal, according to IMD reports, with sustained rainfall expected in the coming days.
Thunderstorm and Rain Alerts Across Central and North India
Several other states including West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Haryana have been put on alert for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. These conditions are expected to persist through the weekend, and residents are advised to remain cautious, especially in flood-prone and hilly regions.
In Uttar Pradesh, anticipation builds as the monsoon is expected to arrive by June 20, with sporadic pre-monsoon activity already observed. The arrival of monsoon will mark the beginning of an extended period of showers in the region.
South India Drenched; Flood Risk in Coastal Zones
The southern states—Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Goa—have been experiencing heavy rainfall over the past few days. The downpour is expected to continue, supported by the southwest monsoon’s further advancement into peninsular India.
Coastal and interior areas are particularly vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides, and the authorities have urged residents to stay updated with local weather advisories.
North India Swelters Under Heatwave
Despite widespread rainfall elsewhere, northern India continues to suffer from intense heat, particularly in Delhi, Rajasthan, and parts of Haryana and Punjab. The IMD has forecast severe heatwave conditions for Rajasthan this weekend, even as some isolated areas may receive brief showers.
Rajasthan is facing a dual scenario, with heat during the day and thunderstorms or light rain possible in the evening. Authorities have urged caution, especially for the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
IMD’s Advisory and What to Expect
The IMD is closely monitoring the monsoon’s progression and advises residents in affected states to:
-
Avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rains or thunderstorms.
-
Stay indoors during lightning and storm alerts.
-
Monitor local news for flood updates in vulnerable areas.
-
Keep emergency kits and essential supplies ready, especially in rural or remote regions.
The next few days are expected to bring significant changes in weather patterns across India, from cooling showers to extreme heat spikes, depending on your region. Citizens are urged to remain vigilant and follow official updates.
