NDTV
The comprehensive forecast is based on data released by India Meteorological Department (IMD), Skymet, and The Weather Channel.
Many parts of India are witnessing intense rainfall in the monsoon season. Many areas in financial capital Mumbai were flooded on Monday after intense monsoon storm, while lightning in the eastern state of Bihar killed at least 10 people. Monsoon rains across South Asia from June to September offer respite from the summer heat and are crucial to replenishing water supplies, but also bring widespread death and destruction. So, accurate weather forecasting becomes essential for planning and preparedness. Utilising data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Skymet, and The Weather Channel, here is a comprehensive 15-day weather prediction for different regions of India.
Delhi and surrounding areas: In the coming week, Delhi and areas nearby (including Haryana and Punjab), will see light rain and sporadic thunderstorm, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD). The sky will be generally cloudy, with rain intensity increasing on July 11. The maximum temperature will be in mid-30s - hovering between 35.5 and 36.6 degrees Cesius. On Sunday, Delhi recorded an air quality index (AQI) of 56 - its lowest in the year so far. Delhi's AQI was under 100 for seven days in June and has improved further due to the weather in July.
The Himalayan region (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir): Heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand over the few days resulted in flooding rivers in the Kumaon region, blocking hundreds of rural motorable roads and leaving several villages in Champawat and Udham Singh Nagar districts heavily waterlogged, as per IMD. The Kali, Gori and Saryu rivers in Pithoragarh, which received 125.50 mm rainfall, were flowing close to the danger mark. Rain triggered landslides in Himachal Pradesh, prompting the authorities to close more than 70 roads, including a national highway. Temperatures will be cooler, ranging from 15 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. The higher altitudes of Jammu & Kashmir may see some snowfall towards the end of the forecast period.
