  "account": "The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi, forecasting that rain will continue in the city for the second day. The persistent rainfall has caused heavy waterlogging in parts of the National Capital Region (NCR). Additionally, the IMD predicts isolated heavy or very heavy rainfall over Kerala, Coastal and South Interior Karnataka in the next two to three days. According to the IMD, isolated heavy rainfall is likely to persist in various parts of northwest and adjoining Central India, as well as over East and Northeast India throughout most days of the week.\n\nThe overall rainfall forecast for the country suggests that it will be normal to below normal during the first half of the week, transitioning to normal to above normal during the second half. In a forecast valid until 11:30 am on Friday, August 7, the IMD warned of a low to moderate flash flood risk over a few watersheds and neighborhoods in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand during the next 24 hours. The IMD cautioned that the situation could escalate to a yellow alert for rain in Delhi-NCR on Friday, with generally cloudy skies and occasional light to moderate rain, particularly in the early morning and noon, alongside isolated spells of very light to light rain towards the evening and night.",
