IMD weather today: Rain alerts for Delhi, Mumbai and several other states

Today, the IMD has predicted that heavy rainfall will continue over Mumbai, Delhi, and more till 31st May and reduce thereafter. It has issued alerts in many states across the country

As the yearly southwest monsoon moves across most of the country, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for widespread thunderstorms with gusty winds over many parts of northwest India over the next 4-5 days. According to the department, this is because of two upper air cyclonic circulations that are presently centred over central Uttar Pradesh's northern regions and western Rajasthan.

 

On the other hand, rains have been lashing Mumbai due to the early monsoon, abrupt temperature changes, and excessive humidity. In addition, the meteorological office has forecast rain in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Muzaffarabad.  

 

According to the weather office, downpour is expected in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh until June 2 and isolated rainfall in Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Muzaffarabad today, on May 31.
