Rainstorms and Lightning Predicted Over India Until Late July, IMD Says

The Indian weather outlook for the month indicates persistent rainstorms and frequent lightning across a swath of the country. According to the IMD, the monsoon surge will affect Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Haryana, Mumbai, and Kerala, with the system expected to persist into the latter half of July.

Agricultural zones are likely to see mixed impacts; while farmers may benefit from the moisture, flash floods could damage crops and infrastructure. Transport operators have already adjusted schedules to mitigate disruptions caused by water‑logged roads and reduced visibility.

Authorities recommend that people avoid non‑essential travel, especially in low‑lying areas, and keep emergency contact numbers ready. The IMD continues to update its forecasts every three hours, providing the most accurate data for public safety.
