Weather Forecast: Your Quick Guide to India’s Latest Weather Alerts

Want to know whether to carry an umbrella or stay home today? You’re in the right spot. We pull the freshest updates from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and turn them into plain‑English advice you can act on right now.

Current Alerts Across North India

IMD has issued a rain and thunderstorm alert for Delhi‑NCR that runs through September 6. Expect heavy showers, especially in the evenings, and temperatures a few degrees below normal. The Yamuna River is inching toward the danger mark – the water level at the Old Railway Bridge is already above 207 m, the third‑highest since 1963. That means low‑lying roads in Janakpuri, Noida‑Delhi corridors and even some parts of NH‑44 could be flooded for several hours.

In Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the situation is more serious. Both states are on a red alert for very heavy rain and flash floods. If you’re planning a trek or a drive through the hills, keep an eye on local bulletins and be ready to change plans.

Further east, Bihar is heading into a hot and rainy September. Daytime highs will hover around 27‑34 °C, while nights stay muggy. Expect 8‑15 rainy days this month, with a decent chance of heavy downpours around the 20th. Carry a water bottle and a light raincoat if you’re out and about.

Looking ahead to Independence Day, Delhi‑NCR will likely see cool showers with temperatures between 22‑33 °C. Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand could see heavier rain that might cause waterlogging, so avoid low‑lying streets if you can.

How to Use Our Weather Updates

Every post on this page is tagged with “weather forecast,” so you can quickly filter for the latest alerts that matter to you. Bookmark the page and check it at the start of each day – it’s faster than opening a weather app and scrolling through generic data.

When a flood warning pops up, look for three practical steps:

  • Plan alternate routes. Roads near the Yamuna, especially those crossing the river, often close without notice.
  • Secure valuables. If you live near a riverbank, move important documents and electronics to higher ground.
  • Stay informed. Follow local news, social media updates from municipal bodies, and our own post summaries for real‑time changes.

For rain‑heavy days, keep a compact umbrella and a pair of waterproof shoes in your bag. That way you won’t be caught off guard when a sudden downpour hits during your commute.

Got a specific city in mind? Use the search bar to type the city name followed by “weather.” You’ll get a list of posts that mention that location, complete with the latest IMD forecasts and on‑the‑ground reports.

Remember, weather can change fast. Our goal is to give you the most useful, up‑to‑date information so you can plan your day without worrying about surprises. Check back often, stay safe, and let the rain be just another part of the story, not the whole headline.
