According to the Meteorological Department, the northern boundary of the monsoon has reached Jammu and Kashmir via Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh. In Madhya Pradesh, the monsoon has become active in the entire state due to the moisture coming from the Bay of Bengal and the cyclonic circulation formed in the north-eastern Arabian Sea. In the coming days, monsoon rain will remain strong in all areas of the state.
The Meteorological Department has issued an alert saying that visibility may decrease due to heavy rains, which may affect road and air traffic. There is a possibility of waterlogging in low-lying areas, which may disrupt traffic and increase the risk of waterborne diseases. Strong winds may cause trees, electric poles and temporary structures to fall.
Lightning strikes can pose a threat to life and property, so people have been advised not to stand under trees or electric poles and stay in safe places. Farmers have been advised not to spray pesticides and fertilizers during rains and to cover the crops safely.
