Rain Alerts – Real‑Time Weather Updates for India

Whenever clouds gather, the first thing you want to know is whether they’ll turn into a downpour that could disrupt your day. This page gathers the freshest rain alerts from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and other trusted sources, so you can plan ahead without scrolling through endless news feeds.

Current Alerts by Region

Delhi: A high‑pressure wall is holding back the monsoon, leaving the capital with clouds but little rain. IMD says a 3‑4 day window could open if the block eases, but for now the capital can expect dry spells despite a heavy sky.

Jharkhand: A low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal may strengthen within 48 hours, pushing heavy rain into the state. Residents should brace for localized flooding, power cuts, and traffic snarls.

Madhya Pradesh: A fresh low‑pressure trough is fueling a surge in monsoon activity. IMD has issued heavy‑rain alerts for 22 districts, with yellow warnings expected on August 26‑27. Expect water‑logging and reduced visibility.

Uttar Pradesh (Agra): While not a rain alert per se, the heatwave is making the city prone to evening thunderstorms that could bring sudden showers. Keep an eye on local updates if you’re heading out after sunset.

These alerts are a snapshot of the most pressing weather situations right now. If you live in or travel to any of these areas, check the IMD website or local news for any changes before heading out.

What to Do When Rain Hits

First, safeguard your home. Move valuable items off the floor, seal windows, and clear gutters to avoid water buildup. If you’re driving, slow down, use low‑beam headlights, and keep a safe distance from other vehicles—wet roads can double stopping distances.

Second, stay informed. Set up weather notifications on your phone, follow the IMD’s Twitter feed, or watch regional news channels for real‑time updates. A quick glance at the forecast can save you from getting stuck in traffic or missing an important appointment.

Third, think about your health. Heavy rain often brings a rise in mosquito activity, which can increase the risk of diseases like dengue. Use repellents, wear long sleeves, and avoid standing water whenever possible.

Lastly, if you’re planning an outdoor event—sports matches, concerts, or travel—have a backup plan. Many venues, like Eden Gardens, may face brief delays if light rain shows up. Keeping an eye on the short‑term forecast helps you decide whether to postpone or move the event indoors.

Rain alerts are more than just news headlines; they’re a tool to keep you safe and on schedule. By checking this page regularly, you get a clear picture of what’s happening across major Indian cities and states, from Delhi’s stalled monsoon to Jharkhand’s incoming downpour.

Stay prepared, stay safe, and let the rain be just another part of your day rather than a surprise that throws you off course.
