The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall and thunderstorm forecast affecting seven states across northern and central India. Meteorologists warned of strong surface winds reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h, urging local disaster management authorities to remain on high alert.
Regions including Delhi-NCR and Mumbai are expecting continued precipitation through mid-September. The persistent monsoon activity has already led to localized waterlogging and municipal advisories in several urban local bodies.
With changing seasonal weather patterns causing intense brief spells of precipitation, infrastructure stress in major urban centers continues to emphasize the urgent need for climate-resilient urban planning.
