As monsoon intensifies across India, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and allied agencies have issued multiple weather alerts ranging from landslides in the Himalayas to urban flooding in western states.
Here’s a detailed city-wise and regional weather forecast to help citizens stay alert and plan their week accordingly.
Uttarakhand on high alert for landslides
The State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) in Uttarakhand has issued a high alert for landslides in four districts—Tehri, Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, and Chamoli—based on a forecast by the IMD and the Geological Survey of India.
The warning, in effect for July 7 and 8, covers subdivisions such as Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Ukhimath, Ghansali, Narendra Nagar, Dhanaulti, Dunda, and Chinyalisaur.
Authorities have ordered restrictions on tourist movement in the higher Himalayan regions and advised schools to exercise caution. Local administration has been directed to regulate traffic, clear blocked roads promptly, and ensure emergency food and medical supplies are available in case of any disaster.
Gujarat flood situation worsens; red alert in multiple districts
Several parts of Gujarat, including Banaskantha and Navsari, have witnessed severe flooding due to incessant rainfall. In Navsari, the Purna River overflowed, flooding residential areas and disrupting daily life. Meanwhile, in Banaskantha’s Tharad region, roads remain submerged, and vehicles are struggling to move.
The IMD has issued a red alert for Ahmedabad, Surendranagar, Morbi, Jamnagar, Devbhoomi Dwarka, Porbandar, Rajkot, Sabarkantha, and Banaskantha, forecasting very heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds up to 40 km/h. Residents have been urged to stay indoors and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary.
Additionally, yellow alerts for extreme rainfall have been issued across parts of Saurashtra and Kutch, with a high risk of flash floods in low-lying areas and transportation disruptions in coastal cities.
Heavy rainfall for Konkan, Goa, and Maharashtra Ghat regions
A strong offshore trough and significant moisture feed from the Arabian Sea are expected to cause extremely heavy rainfall (≥21 cm) in South Konkan, Goa, and Madhya Maharashtra, particularly on July 6 and 7.
The IMD warns of a high risk of slope failures, road blockages, and urban flooding in these regions. Precautionary measures are in place, including traffic regulation and restricted travel in high-risk zones.
