The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts rain and thunderstorms across multiple Indian states over the coming days, with lightning and gusty winds expected in several regions. Multiple reports note unsettled weather continuing beyond a single day, with varying intensity of rainfall across northern, central, eastern and southern parts of the country.
Outlet coverage aligns on broader regional patterns but differs in emphasis. Several reports cite gusts reaching roughly 40–60 kmph and mention Delhi-NCR with partly cloudy skies and wind gusts, alongside showers or thunderstorms. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is repeatedly flagged for parts of south India, particularly Tamil Nadu and Kerala, while northern and hill areas also face thunderstorm activity. One report highlights that the southwest monsoon is expected to withdraw from Jharkhand within days, alongside isolated storms in nearby states.
NDTV and additional reports also focus on Uttarakhand, naming eight districts—Dehradun, Haridwar, Tehri, Pauri Garhwal, Almora, Nainital, Champawat and Udham Singh Nagar—under a yellow alert for moderate rain. Meanwhile, Maharashtra is mentioned as having heatwave conditions that may ease as weather shifts.
