Winds – Latest Weather News and Updates

Whenever the wind picks up, it changes our day in a snap. From heavy gusts that knock down trees to breezy evenings that cool down the heat, knowing what’s happening with the wind helps you plan better. This page gathers the most recent wind stories, forecasts, and safety tips so you don’t get caught off guard.

Current Strong Wind Alerts

Today's biggest wind alert comes from Bihar, where the IMD warned of strong winds and lightning across seven districts. The forecast calls for gusts that could reach 70 km/h, making travel risky and outdoor work dangerous. Authorities have set up emergency teams, and residents are asked to stay indoors during the peak hours.

In the western part of the country, Rajasthan is still feeling the after‑effects of the monsoon. Heavy rain combined with strong winds has caused landslides and damaged roads from Jaipur to Kota. The wind is pushing the already‑rising water levels, so local officials are urging people to avoid low‑lying areas.

How Winds Affect Daily Life

Strong winds don’t just mess with your commute; they can impact power supply, agriculture, and even your health. Farmers in Haryana and Punjab report that gusty conditions are flattening young crops, while power companies in Delhi have reported brief outages due to downed lines during yesterday’s storm.

If you’re planning a weekend outing, check the wind forecast first. Outdoor events like concerts, sports, or markets can be delayed or cancelled when wind speeds exceed safe limits. A quick glance at the local weather app can save you from a soggy or windy surprise.

Travelers should also keep an eye on wind updates for flights and trains. Airports in Delhi and Mumbai have already issued delayed departures because of crosswinds, and some train services in the north are running slower to avoid accidents on exposed tracks.

Finally, remember that wind can be a helpful resource. Many coastal towns are installing small wind turbines to generate clean energy. Even a simple rooftop fan can improve indoor air quality during hot days when you need a natural breeze.
