The monsoon has brought severe consequences. The heavy rainfall in the mountains of Uttarakhand has caused massive devastation, including the destruction of an entire village in Dharali. Himachal Pradesh is also severely impacted by the downpour. Many areas in the plains are struggling due to the adverse weather conditions. Delhi and the NCR region have seen significant rainfall in the past day.
The weather in Delhi NCR is pleasant, with light showers and cool breezes. This pattern is likely to continue. Rain is expected to persist in Delhi NCR until August 11th, with thunderstorms and varying intensities of rainfall.
Uttar Pradesh is under a heavy rainfall alert, with the weather department issuing warnings for several districts. A red alert has been issued for extremely heavy rainfall in Moradabad, Bijnor, Rampur, Bareilly, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur, and surrounding regions. Eastern UP is expected to experience light rainfall in some areas.
Heavy rainfall is anticipated in Uttarakhand, specifically in Rudrapur, Udham Singh Nagar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Almora, Bageshwar, Uttarkashi, and Pauri Garhwal. The next 24 hours are critical for Uttarakhand and the Terai region due to the potential for rising water levels in rivers and lakes, necessitating preparedness for any emergency.
Over the next day, Western UP, Punjab, eastern Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, and Lakshadweep can expect moderate to heavy rainfall. Eastern Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir may receive light rainfall.
