The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a weather advisory on Wednesday, highlighting extreme rainfall expected in parts of India over the coming days. The IMD stated that after intense spells of rain in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh yesterday, other parts of the country are also expected to experience severe weather conditions in the next few days.

Heavy Rainfall to Continue in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh

Heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected over the next 24 hours in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. While the situation in these two states is already at its worst, the IMD has warned the states to be more cautious about the upcoming rainfall, which can be intense. However, isolated heavy showers are likely to persist across the region, including Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Haryana, through 12 August.

The IMD, while posting on social media, said that “light/moderate rainfall is expected at many places accompanied by thunderstorms & lightning, likely over the Western Himalayan region, and at many/some places over the plains during the next seven days.”
