The monsoon rains have caused significant destruction. The mountainous regions are bearing the brunt of the heavy downpours, as evidenced by the village in Uttarakhand’s Dharali that was swept away by a flood. Himachal Pradesh is also suffering due to the intense rainfall. Many plains are facing challenging conditions due to the adverse weather. The Delhi-NCR region, including the capital, has experienced substantial rainfall in the past day.
The Delhi NCR area is currently enjoying pleasant weather with light showers and drizzles, accompanied by cool winds. This weather pattern is expected to continue. Rainfall is predicted to persist in Delhi NCR until August 11th. During this period, the region can expect thunderstorms and intermittent light to heavy rain.
Uttar Pradesh is preparing for a potentially intense rainfall event starting today. The weather department has issued a warning for heavy rainfall across several parts of the state. A red alert has been issued for exceptionally heavy rainfall in Moradabad, Bijnor, Rampur, Bareilly, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur, and neighboring areas. Light rainfall is anticipated in some areas of eastern UP.
Uttarakhand is expected to receive heavy rainfall in districts such as Rudrapur, Udham Singh Nagar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Almora, Bageshwar, Uttarkashi, and Pauri Garhwal. The coming 24 hours are crucial for Uttarakhand and the Terai region due to the expected rainfall. Water levels in the rivers and lakes in these mountainous regions may increase, potentially causing problems. Therefore, it’s essential to be prepared for any emergency.
