Heavy Rainfall Forecast for Southern States
According to the IMD’s latest weather bulletin, isolated heavy downpours are expected throughout the day in the southern states. The forecast indicates that areas such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience significant rainfall, which could lead to waterlogging and disruption in daily activities.
Areas Under Alert
- Kerala: Anticipated heavy rainfall may lead to localized flooding, especially in districts like Thiruvananthapuram and Idukki.
- Tamil Nadu: The state is likely to see intense showers, particularly in regions such as Coimbatore and Madurai.
- Puducherry and Mahe: Similar weather conditions are expected, with warnings for thunderstorms and lightning.
Temperature Drop Expected Across Northern and Eastern India
In addition to the rainfall alerts, the IMD has projected a gradual decline in temperatures across Eastern and Northwestern India by approximately 2-3 degrees Celsius from November 3 to November 7. This temperature drop is attributed to northwesterly winds expected to sweep through these regions.
Impact on Daily Life
Residents are advised to prepare for cooler temperatures while also bracing for the heavy rains in the south. The IMD has recommended that individuals stay indoors during severe weather conditions and avoid unnecessary travel.
Weather Conditions in Delhi-NCR
In contrast to the southern states, the national capital region of Delhi-NCR is expected to experience a clear sky with mild mist during the early morning hours. Temperatures are forecasted to range between 17°C and 34°C. However, air quality remains a pressing concern; as of Saturday afternoon, Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 316, categorizing it as “very poor.” Residents are urged to limit outdoor activities due to high pollution levels exacerbated by recent festivities.
Advisory for Residents
The IMD has issued several advisories for residents in affected areas:
- Stay Indoors: Avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rainfall.
- Secure Loose Items: Remove any loose items from balconies or yards that could become projectiles in strong winds.
- Monitor Weather Updates: Stay informed about changing weather conditions through reliable sources.
- Health Precautions: With increased rainfall, be vigilant about potential waterborne diseases; ensure proper sanitation measures are taken.
Conclusion
As southern India braces for heavy rains and northern regions prepare for cooler temperatures, it is crucial for residents to stay informed about weather updates and heed warnings issued by the IMD. With the onset of winter approaching, these weather changes may also signal an increase in seasonal illnesses; therefore, public health measures should be observed diligently.
