  "summary": "The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted intensifying rainfall over northeastern India and the foothills of the central and eastern Himalayas, with heavy to very heavy rainfall expected over the next five days. This weather pattern is forecasted to ease across south peninsular India, although coastal and south interior Karnataka may continue to receive isolated heavy to very heavy showers. The IMD has issued a low to moderate flash flood risk warning for parts of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Uttarakhand, highlighting the potential for surface runoff and inundation in low-lying areas due to saturated soil conditions.",
