Severe Storm Alert: High-Speed Winds and Rain Predicted Across India

India is currently on high alert as a powerful weather system moves across the subcontinent, prompting the meteorological department to flag 16 states for potential storm damage. North India, specifically Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, are expected to face the brunt of gusty winds reaching up to 100 kmph. West Bengal and parts of Central India are also under close surveillance. The combination of high seasonal heat and moisture is creating volatile conditions. Local authorities have been put on standby to manage emergencies arising from fallen trees and potential power outages during the storm.
