IMD Issues Red and Orange Alerts for Heavy Rain in Uttarakhand Until September 28
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued red and orange alerts for several Uttarakhand districts due to an intense spell of rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds from September 25 to 28. Heavy to extremely heavy rainfall is expected, with snowfall likely above 4,000 metres. Authorities have advised avoiding non-essential travel amid risks of landslides, flash floods, and disruptions. The weather is linked to a fresh western disturbance combined with the withdrawing southwest monsoon, causing active rain through September 28.
