IMD Issues Heavy Rain Warnings as Monsoon Intensifies Across India
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings of heavy to very heavy rainfall across multiple Indian states, including Gujarat, Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, and northeastern regions, driven by an active monsoon trough, a low-pressure area, and cyclonic circulations. Assam faces critical flooding with 47 deaths and over 7 lakh affected, while authorities in Gujarat and other states remain on alert. Delhi expects intermittent light rain with temperatures near seasonal averages. Officials advise residents to stay vigilant amid ongoing adverse weather and potential disruptions.
