Weather Update: India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of continued heavy to very heavy rainfall across northwest, central, eastern, and coastal parts of India.

Thunderstorms with gusty winds have also hit parts of Odisha, Assam, and Himachal Pradesh. With no signs of the systems weakening, more intense rain is likely over the next few days.
