With weather systems on an even path during the next few days please expect a chance for more rainfall and thunderstorm.

IMD has recommended people be on the alert as they are on a path for gusty winds and lightning. Travelers might have to experience delays with waterlogging, reduced views and fallen tree branches caused by lightning. It is recommended for travelers to keep check on weather updates in the area where showers are expected.

What Do Residents Need to Do?

• Don’t seek shelter under trees during thunder/birds.
• If lightning is happening stay indoors.
• Secure outdoor objects that may be blown away by sweltering winds
• Keep track of official advisories issued by IMD as well as by local authorities.
• Plan for spare time in case of weather delays.

What’s Coming Next?

Weather officials are monitoring the pre-monsoon systems and the incoming Southwest Monsoon that are a major contributor to the weather in India. At times when the intensity and/or activity of showers and storms increases, further alerts could be issued for the affected regions.
