The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts very heavy rainfall over isolated locations in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh, with the spell expected around July 28 and 29. The IMD warning highlights the risk of impacts from heavy downpours, including waterlogging and hazardous conditions in affected areas.
Along with the forecast, IMD advises residents to take precautionary steps. People are urged not to leave harvested crops out in the open, to avoid going near water bodies, and to stay away from water-logged areas. These advisories are aimed at reducing damage to crops and lowering the risk of injury or harm during periods of intense rainfall.
The guidance applies to areas where the rainfall is forecast to be very heavy, particularly isolated pockets within the three regions. Authorities and residents are expected to monitor local updates as conditions can vary across districts during such weather systems.
