monsoon rainfall weather alerts India Meteorological Department heavy rain flood warnings

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued widespread weather alerts across India, including red alerts for several districts in Gujarat and Delhi-NCR. In Gujarat, torrential rains have caused flooding in low-lying areas and stalled vehicles, prompting the deployment of 38 NDRF and SDRF teams. Specific districts under red alert include Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, and Morbi.

In North India, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning are forecasted for Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and parts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. While Delhi-NCR may experience light showers and cloudy skies, the monsoon remains active in several states. In Jharkhand, clouds and potential lightning are expected, with temperatures likely to fluctuate.

Nationwide, the IMD has issued thunderstorm and rain alerts for approximately 20 states. The southwest monsoon is projected to begin its withdrawal around September 19, starting from western Rajasthan. Despite the approaching retreat, significant rainfall is expected to continue through the week in various regions.
