Today’s Weather Update-IMD Predicts Heavy Rainfall Across Cities
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released a fresh weather advisory, warning of heavy rains across several states in the next 48 hours. The advisory highlights Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi-NCR, and parts of North India as the main regions likely to be affected.
According to the latest update, the monsoon trough has shifted southward, bringing heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms in several local areas. This movement has intensified rainfall activity, especially in coastal regions, while spreading showers to the interior by late evening.
Which Cities Will See the Heaviest Rains?
People across India often ask, “When will it rain in my city?” According to IMD’s region-wise forecast:
-
Mumbai: Heavy downpours expected in the morning and afternoon.
-
Bengaluru: Strong spells of rain likely through the day, with evening thunderstorms.
-
Kolkata: Widespread showers and possible waterlogging in low-lying areas.
-
Delhi-NCR: Sporadic drizzle and cloudy skies, with chances of light rainfall in some parts.
Coastal belts of Maharashtra and Karnataka are expected to record the highest rainfall intensity compared to inland cities.
Safety Advisory for Residents
In light of this weather change, the IMD has issued a yellow alert in major urban areas. Citizens are advised to:
-
Avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rainfall hours.
-
Stay updated with live weather apps or official IMD bulletins.
-
Take precautions in low-lying areas, which may experience temporary flooding.
-
Expect possible traffic disruptions and short power cuts.
The advisory also mentions that rainfall may impact normal life in big cities, especially during peak commuting hours. Commuters are encouraged to keep rain gear handy and plan extra travel time.
How Long Will the Rains Last?
This wet spell is linked to the active phase of the monsoon, which means intermittent showers are likely to continue over the next few days. While some regions may see short breaks, heavy rains are expected to return quickly, keeping weather conditions unstable.
The IMD has stressed that residents should remain cautious and follow all safety protocols to minimize risks. Keeping emergency numbers, power backups, and protective equipment like umbrellas or raincoats is strongly recommended.
