HIT 3 – Your One‑Stop Hub for Today’s Top Stories

If you’re scrolling for what’s buzzing right now, you’ve landed on the right spot. HIT 3 pulls together the most talked‑about news, weather warnings, and entertainment bites that matter to anyone living in or watching India. Let’s break it down so you can skip the fluff and get straight to the info you need.

Top Weather Alerts in North India

Heavy rain isn’t just a weekend inconvenience – it’s reshaping travel plans, school schedules, and even IPL matches. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a series of alerts that hit Delhi‑NCR hard until September 6. Expect thunderstorms, temperatures 3‑5 °C below normal, and the Yamuna river flirting with dangerous levels. When the river hits the danger mark, roads near the Old Railway Bridge close and cremation services at Nigambodh Ghat pause, as we saw recently.

Beyond Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are on red alert for flash floods. If you’re heading to the hills, pack waterproof gear and keep an eye on local advisories. Gurugram’s work‑from‑home recommendation isn’t a suggestion – it’s a response to 100 mm of rain falling in just four hours. Schools have shifted online, and many commuters face five‑hour jams on the Noida‑Delhi stretch as the Yamuna swells to its third‑highest level since 1963.

For sports fans, the rain forecast is a game‑changer. The IPL 2025 opening weekend in Bengaluru and Kolkata faces a real risk of delays or washouts. The KKR vs RCB clash could see reduced overs or a full reschedule if the forecast holds. Keep an eye on the live updates – the league has no reserve days for the early fixtures, so a single storm could rewrite the tournament’s start.

Buzzing Entertainment & Sports Highlights

While the skies stay gray, the entertainment world stays colorful. Actress Flora Saini finally broke her silence on the abuse she endured during a short‑lived relationship with producer Gaurang Doshi. Her story, first shared during the #MeToo wave in 2018, resurfaced on a recent TV appearance, sparking fresh conversations about safety in the film industry.

On the cricket front, South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi delivered a five‑for that helped his team clinch an 84‑run victory over Australia in Mackay, sealing a series win. Meanwhile, the Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE promises a rare three‑meeting showdown between India and Pakistan – group stage, Super 4, and the final. Organisers shifted most matches to prime‑time 8 PM IST slots, making it easier for fans across the subcontinent to catch the action.

Music fans can’t miss Diljit Dosanjh’s global rise. From singing kirtan in his hometown to headlining Coachella, he’s turned regional Punjabi beats into multi‑crore arena shows without losing his roots. His story shows how authenticity can go hand‑in‑hand with worldwide fame.

Finally, a quick heads‑up on travel: the US has slapped a 50 % tariff on many Indian exports, a move tied to India’s Russian oil purchases. While this may not affect your daily commute, it could ripple into product prices and job markets, so keep an ear to the ground if you work in manufacturing or trade.

All these pieces sit under the HIT 3 tag, giving you a snapshot of what’s hot, what’s hazardous, and what’s worth a deeper look today. Bookmark this page, refresh when the weather changes, and stay ahead of the curve without sifting through endless feeds.
