The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather forecast that may affect many regions in India. Heavy rainfall is expected in Kerala, parts of the Northeast, Maharashtra, and Goa. This change in weather is due to the advancing monsoon and low-pressure systems in these areas.
In Kerala, isolated heavy rainfall has been predicted. The IMD has issued yellow alerts for several districts, including Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad, and Kozhikode. A yellow alert means residents should be cautious and stay updated with official weather advisories.
Heavy rain refers to precipitation measuring between 64.5 mm and 115.5 mm within a 24-hour period. This amount of rain can lead to waterlogging and disruptions in daily life. Therefore, it is important for those living in the alerted areas to prepare for possible flooding and stay indoors during heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, the weather in Northwest India, particularly Delhi and Rajasthan, is quite different. A heatwave continues to affect these regions. In Delhi, residents can expect thunderstorms and gusty winds. After the brief rise in temperatures, a cooldown is anticipated.
The daytime maximum temperatures in Kerala are expected to be around 29°C in June. This means the weather will be hot and humid. There are typically five hours of sunshine each day, with an average of 21 days of rainfall. The total rainfall for June in Kerala usually reaches about 752 mm.
As the monsoon season approaches, it is important for farmers and residents to monitor the weather closely. Farmers should prepare for the heavy rain that can help crops but also may cause issues if it is too much too quickly.
For those living in urban areas, it is best to ensure that drainage systems are clear and that you are ready to handle any disruptions caused by the rain. Check local news updates for advice on how to stay safe during heavy rainfall.
In summary, Kerala and parts of Northeast India should stay prepared for heavy rain. On the other hand, residents in Delhi and Rajasthan should brace for continuing heatwave conditions. Keep an eye on the weather, and make sure to follow safety guidelines as needed.
