Weather tomorrow 27 September: Very heavy rain in Uttarakhand, Himachal; snowfall likely | Check Delhi, UP, MP and more

Tomorrow, September 27, northern India will face heavy rain and snowfall in higher elevations. The India Meteorological Department predicts extremely heavy rain in parts of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, with isolated locations experiencing very heavy rain. A depression over southeastern Uttar Pradesh is causing the unsettled weather, which is expected to move northward and weaken by morning. However, heavy rain and strong winds may persist despite this weakening.

Northern Madhya Pradesh may see heavy rainfall in isolated areas. In Uttarakhand, Dehradun, Tehri, and Pauri could face extremely heavy rain at specific locations. Heavier to very heavy rain is likely across the remaining districts, with most places anticipating light to moderate rain or thunderstorms. Thunderstorms may bring lightning and gusty winds up to 50 kmph.

Snowfall is predicted at elevations above 3,600 meters in Himachal Pradesh's southeastern districts. Sirmaur is under an orange alert for isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall, while Bilaspur, Mandi, Shimla, and Solan face yellow alerts for isolated heavy rain. Kinnaur, Kullu, Kangra, Chamba, Una, and Hamirpur may experience moderate rain.

Across western Uttar Pradesh, very heavy rain may strike at isolated places. Delhi can expect generally cloudy skies with temperatures between 30°C and 32°C and minimums between 21°C and 23°C. Winds in northern Uttar Pradesh and adjoining Uttarakhand may gust to 45 kmph, gradually easing afterward.

Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, and the Delhi region may experience isolated heavy rain. Scattered or isolated rain is expected across several eastern, western, and southern states, including Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Rain is also likely at scattered places in northeastern states, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands may see widespread rainfall.

Flash flooding remains a concern in parts of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh until tomorrow evening. Heavy rain could trigger landslides, flood roads, and disrupt travel by road or rail. The IMD advises people to avoid flooded roads, swollen streams, and slopes susceptible to landslides. Pilgrims and tourists in Uttarakhand should only travel when necessary, while thunderstorms call for indoor shelter instead of standing under trees.

Farmers should protect harvested crops and arrange drainage for waterlogged fields, warns the IMD. Sounak Mukhopadhyay, a journalist at LiveMint, covers trending news, sports, and entertainment.
