Weather Update: Nationwide Rain Impact

Continuous showers since Thursday have disrupted normal life in many states.

Himachal, Uttarakhand, Haryana Weather Forecast

The hill states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand will see light to moderate rainfall until October 4. Thunderstorms and lightning are also expected during this period. Rainfall may extend into parts of Punjab and isolated showers are also possible in Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh over the weekend.

The IMD said rain activity is likely to continue in Assam and Meghalaya on Friday. Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura are also set to receive showers. These areas may experience thunderstorms and gusty winds at times.

Delhi-NCR Weather Forecast

Thursday’s rain brought relief from the humid heat in the national capital, but it also led to waterlogging in many areas. On Friday, more showers are likely across parts of Delhi and adjoining NCR cities such as Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad. Officials have said the western disturbance driving this weather system will continue to influence the region for another two days.

Extended Weather Outlook

The weather department has cautioned that the unsettled conditions will not clear immediately. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue in several regions until 8 October, with a yellow alert issued in parts of the country. The IMD has urged residents to remain alert during thunderstorms and to avoid open areas during lightning activity.

The current spell is linked to a western disturbance that has interacted with moisture-laden winds, leading to widespread rainfall. While the rains have lowered temperatures, they have also disrupted transport and daily routines across many states.
