The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Red Alert for extremely heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand, Assam, and Meghalaya today, July 2. Heavy rainfall is expected to continue in various parts of North India, including Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar, over the next three to four days. Similar conditions are anticipated in Gujarat and along the West Coast.
According to the report, conditions are favorable for the further advance of the southwest monsoon into the remaining parts of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab within the next two to three days. The IMD’s monthly outlook predicts that rainfall across the country as a whole during July is most likely to be above normal.
Normal to above normal rainfall is expected in most parts of the country, except for many parts of Northeast India and some areas in the northwest, east, and southeast peninsular India, where below normal rainfall is likely. The maximum temperature is predicted to be normal to below normal in many parts of Northwest India and South Peninsular India, except the West Coast. The latest Monsoon Mission Climate Forecast System indicates that La Niña conditions are likely to develop during the second half of the monsoon season.
Meanwhile, the national capital observed a very light drizzle early in the morning. However, over the next few days, a generally cloudy sky with heavy rain is expected in the city. The minimum and maximum temperatures are likely to hover around 27 and 33 degrees Celsius.
