IMD Updates – Real‑Time Weather Alerts and Flood News for India
Whenever the sky starts acting up, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is the first stop for reliable info. From sudden downpours in Delhi to heavy thunderstorms in Bihar, we bring you the latest alerts, forecasts and practical tips you need right now.
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.
All these updates are pulled from the latest IMD bulletins, so you can trust they’re accurate and timely. Bookmark this page and check back often; the IMD releases new reports several times a day during active weather periods.
