India is expected to see another active spell of monsoon weather on Tuesday, August 11, and several parts of the country are expected to see widespread rainfall.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast shows rainfall activity in northern, central and eastern India while heavy spells may also be found in some areas.
Delhi will be among the areas watching the weather change and the national capital will also have periods of rain, with cloudy conditions and thunderstorms possible in parts of the city and neighbouring towns.
It could offer temporary relief from the heat, but commuters would be stuck in waterlogged traffic and slow down on vulnerable roads.
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh Under Rain Watch
Parts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are also expected to remain under the influence of monsoon activity. Rainfall in these areas might be scattered showers or heavier spells depending on the local weather system and so is the rainfall of the central region.
An all-India bulletin from IMD for April 2017 highlights the continuing rainfall activity in a number of parts of India. And the weather condition is determined by the monsoon season and the associated atmospheric system over the country.
For Rajasthan heavy showers can lead to sudden water accumulation in low-lying areas, and strong winds and thunderstorms can accompany rainfall in isolated locations. Madhya Pradesh could also experience periods of intense rain in some districts.
Odisha And Eastern India
Odisha remains one of the areas where heavy rainfall is still possible. Some of the districts have already experienced active monsoon conditions, and local residents should monitor local forecasts, especially in places where heavy rain is expected to cause waterlogging or road travel to be affected.
The IMD also indicated widespread rainfall potential over parts of eastern and northeastern India including areas around the Himalayan foothills.
What To Expect Today
Monsoon rainfall will be uneven across India’s weather outlook. While locations might get only light or moderate showers, isolated areas could experience heavy to very heavy rainfall.
People travelling through rain-affected areas should give themselves extra time to avoid unnecessary travel through flooded roads and follow local weather warnings. Drivers should also be cautious during times of poor visibility and thunderstorms.
The latest IMD bulletin is still the key reference for district-level warnings, as rainfall intensity can change quickly during the monsoon season.
With rainfall in various parts of the country, residents of Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and other affected states should keep up with the weather alerts throughout the day through official weather alerts.
