The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that Delhi-NCR is likely to continue receiving spells of rain and thunderstorms until August 10, providing relief from high temperatures but increasing the risk of waterlogging and traffic disruptions. Similar weather conditions are expected in Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad.

Rain Likely to Continue in Delhi-NCR

According to the IMD, the national capital will experience generally cloudy skies with intermittent light to moderate rainfall, while isolated areas could receive heavy showers, particularly during the night and early morning hours over the next few days. Residents have been advised to remain cautious during periods of intense rainfall.

Heavy Rain Alert for Several States

The IMD has also issued warnings for heavy to very heavy rainfall across several parts of the country. States likely to be affected include:

  • Uttar Pradesh
  • Bihar
  • Madhya Pradesh
  • Assam and Meghalaya
  • Arunachal Pradesh
  • Konkan and Goa
  • Parts of West Bengal and Sikkim

Some regions may experience extremely heavy rainfall, raising concerns over localized flooding, overflowing rivers, and disruption to transport services.

Advisory for Residents

Authorities have advised people to:

  • Avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain.
  • Stay away from waterlogged roads and low-lying areas.
  • Keep track of the latest IMD weather bulletins.
  • Follow traffic advisories and emergency instructions issued by local authorities.
  • Secure loose outdoor objects and prepare for possible power disruptions during thunderstorms.

Monsoon Activity to Remain Active

Meteorologists expect the monsoon system to remain active over northwest, central, eastern, and northeastern India during the coming days. This could result in continued rainfall across many regions, with isolated pockets experiencing intense downpours.

The Bottom Line

Delhi-NCR is expected to remain under the influence of active monsoon conditions through August 10, with intermittent rain and thunderstorms likely. At the same time, the IMD has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and several other states, urging residents to stay alert and follow official weather updates.
