The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy to very heavy rainfall alert for several parts of the country, including Rajasthan, as widespread monsoon activity continues to intensify. Several northern, central, eastern, and northeastern states are expected to witness heavy rain, while some areas may also experience thunderstorms and lightning.

The latest forecast suggests that the active monsoon conditions are likely to keep rainfall activity elevated over the coming days, bringing relief from high temperatures but also increasing the risk of waterlogging and localized flooding in vulnerable areas.

Rajasthan Among States Under Heavy Rain Alert

Rajasthan is expected to receive significant rainfall, with the weather department issuing an Orange Alert for several districts.

Continuous overnight rain has been reported in parts of the state, including Jaipur, where light showers continued into the morning. Heavy rainfall has also been recorded in Bharatpur, while districts such as Alwar and Karauli have witnessed intense downpours.

The persistent rainfall has led to water accumulation in several low-lying areas, affecting roads, agricultural fields, and local transportation in some locations.

Northern States Likely to Receive Intense Rainfall

According to the latest forecast, heavy rainfall is expected across several northern states, including:

• Jammu & Kashmir

• Himachal Pradesh

• Uttarakhand

• Haryana

• Delhi

• Chandigarh

• Eastern Uttar Pradesh

• Western Uttar Pradesh

Residents in these regions have been advised to remain alert as localized heavy rainfall may lead to traffic disruptions, waterlogging, and reduced visibility.

Heavy Rain Warning for Central and Eastern India

The IMD has also forecast widespread rainfall across parts of central and eastern India.

States expected to receive heavy showers include:

• Western Madhya Pradesh

• Chhattisgarh

• Bihar

• Jharkhand

• Odisha

• Gangetic West Bengal

• Sub-Himalayan West Bengal

• Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Some areas could witness intense rainfall over a short period, increasing the possibility of localized flooding in low-lying regions.

Northeast India May Experience Very Heavy Rain

Several northeastern states are also expected to remain under the influence of active monsoon conditions.

Heavy rainfall has been forecast for:

• Arunachal Pradesh

• Assam

• Meghalaya

• Nagaland

• Manipur

• Mizoram

• Tripura

The weather department has also warned that a few places may experience very heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Residents are advised to follow local weather advisories and avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather conditions.

Rainfall Brings Relief from Heat

The widespread rainfall has led to a noticeable drop in temperatures across many parts of the country, providing relief from the recent spell of hot and humid weather.

Pleasant weather conditions have encouraged people to visit parks, hill stations, and other tourist destinations in regions where rainfall has eased. However, authorities advise caution near rivers, water bodies, and flood-prone areas due to the possibility of sudden increases in water levels.

Monsoon Activity Expected to Continue

Weather conditions indicate that active monsoon circulation is likely to persist over several regions in the coming days. As a result, intermittent rainfall is expected to continue across northern, central, eastern, and northeastern India.

People living in areas under heavy rainfall alerts are advised to stay updated with official weather forecasts, avoid waterlogged roads whenever possible, and take necessary precautions during thunderstorms and periods of intense rain.

With the monsoon remaining active, several states may continue to experience changing weather conditions, making regular weather updates important for travel planning and daily activities.
