Weather Today: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms in more than 25 states of the country on September 13. A low-pressure area and cyclonic circulation extending from northern Rajasthan to the Bay of Bengal have triggered fresh rains. This change has brought heavy showers accompanied by strong winds to the plains, while the risk of landslides has increased in hilly areas.

According to the Meteorological Department, the weather will remain rough across much of the country due to the active monsoon. Rain and thunderstorms are expected across North India, Northeast India, and South India.

Rain alerts have been issued in more than 25 states including Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
