Severe Rainfall Alert: IMD Issues Heavy to Very Heavy Rain & Lightning Warnings for 8 States

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a severe rainfall alert for several parts of the country, warning of heavy to very heavy rains along with lightning in at least eight states. The alert includes key regions like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and various northeastern states.

The monsoon has now advanced into most parts of India and is expected to cover the entire country in the next couple of days. IMD forecasts indicate that residents in multiple regions should brace for strong winds and intense downpours.

Heavy Rain & Thunderstorm Expected in Delhi

A yellow alert has been issued for Delhi, with expectations of heavy rain accompanied by strong winds today. While recent showers provided relief from the searing heat in the capital, rising temperatures have once again made conditions uncomfortable for residents. The forecast suggests a temporary reprieve as the latest rain system moves in.

Bihar Under Heavy Rain Alert

Several districts in Bihar are also on high alert. An orange alert has been issued for West Champaran, East Champaran, Kishanganj, and Araria districts, with expectations of heavy rainfall. A yellow alert is in place for Sitamarhi, Shivhar, Madhubani, and Supaul. Widespread showers are likely across Bihar on Monday.

An orange alert for heavy rain has been issued for the following eight states:

• Assam

• Madhya Pradesh

• Manipur

• Meghalaya

• Mizoram

In its earlier forecast, IMD had already predicted intense rainfall activity across Northwest India, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and the Konkan-Goa region until June 26.

The IMD has issued a red alert — the highest level — for eastern Rajasthan and western Madhya Pradesh today. Along with very heavy rainfall, there is also a high risk of lightning in these areas.

Rain Forecast for Other Regions

Additional heavy rain alerts have also been issued for:
