The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued weather alerts for multiple regions in India today. A yellow alert with light to moderate rain is expected in parts of Delhi, while a red alert is in effect for several districts in Uttar Pradesh, with fears of intense and very heavy rain.
In Uttarakhand, a red alert has been issued for Bageshwar, Pithoragarh, Champawat, Nainital, and Udham Singh Nagar, indicating heavy rain, while Pauri, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, and Almora have received an orange alert. Haridwar, Pauri, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, and Almora are under a yellow alert, while Haridwar, Uttarkashi, and Tehri are at a yellow level.
Meanwhile, Odisha faced heavy rain from a deep depression on Friday, with 63 places recording over 100 mm of rainfall and three locations receiving over 300 mm. This forced authorities to close schools in several districts and relocate around 14,500 people to relief centers, while pregnant women were taken to hospitals. In Chhattisgarh, schools were closed for Saturday due to heavy rain, causing damage to infrastructure and transportation difficulties.
