Monsoon Surge
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert saying that from today, heavy rains will lash several parts of the country for the next 7 days. This will bring much-needed relief from the intense heat in many regions. So, what’s the weather going to be like in your state? Let’s take a look.
Monsoon Hits Some Parts of India
Monsoon has already arrived in some parts of the country and is bringing continuous rain. States like Kerala and parts of Northeast India are already experiencing heavy downpours. On the other hand, in many states where the rains haven’t started yet, temperatures have soared and people are struggling with extreme heat.
In the northwest parts of India, the monsoon has not yet arrived, leading to very hot weather. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall in Northeast India has even caused flooding in some areas.
Amid this situation, IMD has warned that for the next seven days, rain clouds will cover several parts of India, and heavy rainfall is likely in multiple states.
States Likely to Receive Heavy Rainfall
According to the India Meteorological Department, the following states and regions are expected to witness heavy rainfall from June 14 to June 20:
Kerala, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Coastal and Interior Karnataka, Puducherry, and Karaikal
These regions are likely to experience continuous heavy rain. Winds blowing at 40-50 kmph are also expected.
Marathwada, Saurashtra, Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, and Gujarat
From June 14 to June 17, heavy rains may drench these regions.
Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, and Odisha
These areas will likely get heavy rainfall between June 15 and June 19.
Bihar is expected to receive heavy rainfall on June 19.
Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand
Between June 14 and 19, these northern states could see heavy rainfall.
Dust storms and thunderstorms may also occur during this period, with wind speeds reaching 50 to 70 kmph.
States Likely to Receive Light to Moderate Rainfall
Not all regions will see intense downpours. Some states are expected to get light to moderate rainfall:
Madhya Maharashtra and Gujarat
On June 14 and 15, some areas may experience light to moderate rain along with lightning.
Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim
Light to moderate rain is expected throughout the next 7 days.
Madhya Pradesh
From June 14 to 17, several places may get light to moderate rainfall, along with strong winds (40-50 kmph), lightning, and thunder.
Eastern Madhya Pradesh: On June 16 and 17, similar weather with light to moderate rainfall is predicted.
Weather Forecast for Rajasthan
According to IMD, Rajasthan will experience strong winds of 40-50 kmph over the next six days. Some areas will also see cloudy skies and light rainfall. These showers may offer temporary relief from the extreme heat.
Despite the rain, temperatures will still be high during the day in some parts, but cooler winds and cloud cover will help reduce the discomfort caused by the heat.
What This Means for You
If you live in any of the areas mentioned above, be prepared for heavy rains, waterlogging, and possible disruption of daily routines.
Farmers should take precautions to protect their crops and prepare for water collection.
People in flood-prone areas should stay alert and follow updates from local authorities.
Umbrellas, raincoats, and waterproof footwear will be essential for the next week.
Conclusion
Monsoon has finally started spreading across India. While some states are already receiving rain, others will soon see showers in the coming days. The next 7 days will bring relief from the heat for many, but also call for careful planning due to heavy rainfall and strong winds. Keep following IMD updates and take necessary safety steps during this changing weather.
