Northern India Weather: Severe Thunderstorms to Hit Multiple States

A heavy rain and thunderstorm alert has been sounded for North India, with Uttar Pradesh at the center of the weather disturbance. The IMD forecast suggests that for the next five days, the region will experience volatile weather conditions. In addition to UP, states like Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are also expected to see significant rainfall and sudden squalls. The national capital, Delhi, is likely to witness cloudy skies and sporadic showers, which will help keep the heat index in check. However, the 70 km/h wind gusts predicted for UP remain the primary concern for safety officials, who are urging people to avoid outdoor activities during the peak of the storm. Travelers and commuters are advised to check local weather updates frequently.
