Weather Forecast – Stay Ahead of the Storm
Ever felt caught off guard by a sudden downpour? You’re not alone. In the last few weeks India has seen everything from Delhi’s raging floods to heavy rain in Bihar. That’s why a reliable weather forecast matters more than ever.
We bring you the top stories that show why keeping an eye on the forecast can save you time, money, and stress. From the Yamuna breaching danger levels in Delhi to lightning warnings in Patna, the data we share is straight from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and local reports.
What’s happening right now?
In Delhi, the river crossed the danger mark, flooding roads and pushing schools to go online. Gurugram saw schools shift to virtual classes after 100 mm of rain. Meanwhile, Bihar’s IMD alert warned of heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning across seven districts, urging people to stay indoors.
Kolkata’s cricket fans got a breather – the forecast for the India vs England T20 and the IPL KKR vs RCB match shows clear skies with only a 7% chance of rain. That’s good news if you’re planning a night out at Eden Gardens.
Practical tips to use the forecast
1. Check hourly updates before you leave the house. A quick glance at the IMD app or a trusted local news site can tell you if an unexpected shower is coming.
2. Plan travel routes early. If you’re heading to the airport or a crowded market, know which roads might be water‑logged. In Delhi, traffic crawled to a halt during the floods, so alternate routes saved a lot of time.
3. Secure valuables. Heavy rain can cause power cuts and damage electronics. Keep flashlights and chargers handy, especially during monsoon weeks.
4. Stay safe during lightning. If you’re in a high‑risk area like Bihar, avoid open fields and tall objects. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike before moving outdoors.
5. Use the forecast for outdoor events. Whether it’s a cricket match in Kolkata or a festival in South India, a quick weather check can help you decide if you need an umbrella or a raincoat.
By making a habit of checking the forecast, you’ll be ready for anything – from a light drizzle to a major flood. Stay tuned to this page for the freshest updates, and keep your plans flexible. The weather may change, but your preparation doesn’t have to.
