IMD Issues Rain Alerts in South India; Dry Conditions and Pollution Persist in Delhi-NCR
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued weather alerts for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across southern states including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Karnataka due to the remnants of Cyclone Murasu. Isolated to widespread showers are expected through November 8, with gusty winds in some regions. Northern India, including Delhi-NCR, is forecast to remain largely dry with shallow fog and persistent poor air quality. A western disturbance may bring changes next week, but immediate relief from pollution is unlikely.
