The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has officially issued a critical weather bulletin forecasting widespread rainfall, lightning strikes, and severe squally winds across Eastern and Northern India today. According to the latest atmospheric tracking, states including Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal will experience persistent unsettled weather systems. Meteorologists urge residents, outdoor workers, and local transport networks to remain vigilant as active low-pressure troughs continue generating severe localized storm activity.

According to meteorological forecasts, Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal remain under active thunderstorm warnings through October 10. Specifically, Bihar is slated to record intense thunderstorm activity accompanied by lightning strikes and gusty surface winds peaking between 40 kmph and 60 kmph. Similarly, West Bengal, Odisha, and Sikkim are under heightened weather advisories for localized downpours.

Will Thunderstorm Rain Hit Delhi NCR Today?

The weather advisory extends beyond eastern belts to impact Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand today. In Delhi, partly cloudy skies accompanied by localized thunderstorm activity and light spells of rain today will keep temperatures fluctuating between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, Western Himalayan zones expect light to moderate rainfall alongside high-altitude snowfall.

What preventive measures and advisories have weather authorities issued for vulnerable local communities? Meteorologists strongly advise residents in low-lying and flood-affected areas to seek secure shelter during active lightning strikes and sudden wind squalls. Additionally, agricultural workers across Eastern India must protect standing crops against unexpected waterlogging and hail damage. Local municipal administrative bodies are actively monitoring drainage corridors to prevent urban traffic bottlenecks caused by water buildup on primary roadways.
