India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast significant rainfall activity across most parts of the country over the next week, driven by an active monsoon trough, multiple cyclonic circulations, and a fresh low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Several states are likely to see heavy to extremely heavy rainfall, with localised flooding risks in vulnerable regions. Delhi-NCR is also expected to witness cloudy skies and intermittent showers in the coming days. Here are the details
Northwest India: Hills on Alert for Heavy Showers
A combination of cyclonic circulations over Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Kutch, along with the active monsoon trough, will bring persistent rainfall to the northwestern states. Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir will see heavy to extremely heavy rainfall on select days, with potential for flash floods and landslides.

Farmers are advised to plan agricultural activities keeping in mind rainfall forecasts, and commuters should check traffic updates before travel.
