Current Alerts You Can’t Miss

IMD just warned of heavy to extremely heavy rain in seven districts of Bihar, including Patna and Gaya. Expect strong winds, lightning and flash‑flooding. The department has asked people to stay indoors during the afternoon and evening hours. If you’re traveling, check road conditions before you set off – water‑logged streets are a real hassle.

In Delhi, the Yamuna has crossed the danger mark, pushing the city into flood mode. IMD says more showers are likely this week, so keep an eye on local advisories. Schools in Gurugram have already moved online, and many commuters are facing delays at the airport.

What the Forecast Says for the Next Week

Looking ahead, IMD predicts light rain in Delhi on August 28, but Jammu and Himachal will face heavy to very heavy downpours. If you’re planning a trip to the mountains, pack waterproof gear and expect possible road closures. In Kolkata, the evening forecast for the KKR vs RCB IPL match is clear – the rain odds have dropped to about 7%, making it a good night for cricket fans.

For the longer term, IMD flags a potential new low pressure system over the Bay of Bengal in mid‑September, which could bring more monsoon activity to the east coast. Farmers in West UP and East Rajasthan should prepare for extra rain this season.
