Weather Report: The month of July usually brings relief and coolness, but this time the pace of monsoon has put the whole country in worry. Rain is no longer just a season, but has emerged as a big challenge. Torrential rains are wreaking havoc in many states of India, and their effects are visible not only in villages and cities but also from the mountains to the beaches.
Weather Report: Increased risk of landslides in North India
There is continuous heavy rain in hilly states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir. This has weakened the soil and the risk of landslides has increased rapidly. Road connectivity has been disrupted in many places, and connectivity to small towns and villages has been disrupted. Tourists have also been advised to avoid travelling to hilly areas this season. The local administration has increased monitoring of traffic on hilly roads and many roads have also been closed as a precaution.
Weather Report: Worse situation due to waterlogging in urban areas
On the other hand, rain has slowed down the pace of life in big cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad in the western parts of the country. Due to heavy rains, roads have been flooded in many places, to traffic has come to a complete standstill. Waterlogging has been seen at railway stations, bus stops and other public places. Attendance in schools and offices is also being affected.
The Meteorological Department says that this situation may continue for a few more days. There is a possibility of heavy rain in different parts of the country for the next 4 to 5 days. Heavy to very heavy rain warning has been issued especially in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Weather Report: The rising water level of rivers is a matter of concern
The water level of major rivers like the Ganga, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra is continuously increasing. Flood situation is developing in areas like North Bihar, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Assam. The administration has appealed to the people living in villages and towns situated on the banks of the rivers to remain alert and take shelter in safe places if possible. Relief and rescue teams have been put on alert mode in many states so that rapid action can be taken in case of any emergency.
Weather Report: Vigilance and cooperation are most important at this time
