New Delhi: The southwest continues to influence weather conditions across India. The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted unsettled weather for several states, including Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir and several other states over the next few days. The weather department has cautioned that persistent rain could trigger landslides, flash floods, waterlogging, and disruptions to road connectivity in vulnerable areas. Tourists, pilgrims, and residents have been advised to remain alert and follow the latest weather advisories before travelling.
Meanwhile, the IMD has also predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall over parts of Northeast India, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Bihar, and East Uttar Pradesh on July 12, with heavy rain likely to continue in these regions over the next three to four days.
India Weather Today (July 12): Why Has IMD Issued a Heavy Rain Alert for Uttarakhand?
According to the IMD, Uttarakhand is expected to witness heavy rainfall at isolated places over the coming days as monsoon activity remains active across the Himalayan region. Continuous rain may increase the risk of landslides, mudslides, and swollen rivers, especially in hilly districts. Pilgrimage routes and mountain roads could also experience temporary disruptions due to falling debris and poor visibility. Residents and visitors have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall and stay updated with official weather bulletins.
What Is the Weather Forecast for Himachal Pradesh?
The IMD has forecast heavy rainfall at isolated places in Himachal Pradesh, where monsoon showers are expected to remain active. Several hill districts could experience moderate to heavy spells of rain, raising the possibility of waterlogging in low-lying areas and landslides along highways and mountain roads. Authorities have urged tourists and local residents to exercise caution, particularly in landslide-prone regions, and monitor district-level weather updates before planning outdoor activities.
How Will Rainfall Impact Jammu & Kashmir?
Jammu & Kashmir is also likely to receive heavy rainfall at isolated places over the next few days, according to the IMD. The Jammu division and adjoining hilly areas may witness intense showers that could lead to localised flooding, flash floods in vulnerable locations, and temporary disruptions to transport services. People living near rivers, streams, and steep slopes have been advised to remain vigilant as weather conditions may change rapidly during the active monsoon phase.
India Weather Today (July 12): What Is the Weather Forecast for the Rest of India?
Despite northern hill stations areas, the weather department has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in Northeast India, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Bihar, and East Uttar Pradesh on July 12, with heavy rain is also expected to continue at isolated places for the next three to four days. In contrast, rainfall activity is likely to remain subdued over the plains of northwest India, west-central India, and south Peninsular India during the next six to seven days, indicating relatively weaker monsoon conditions across these regions.
