In the next few days, significant to hefty rainfall is expected in several states, according to a detailed forecast released by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). As per the most recent IMD report, which was released on Friday, Delhi is anticipated to see “very heavy rainfall” through July 1. Many areas, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and portions of Uttar Pradesh, are covered by the weather pattern.
In particular, it is predicted that Punjab will have substantial rainfall on June 30 and July 1st, while Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are expected to see major rainfall on June 29 and 30. The IMD also predicts that from June 29 to July 1, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi will see intense rains. Between June 29 and June 30, Uttar Pradesh is predicted to experience isolated, extremely heavy rains; East Rajasthan is predicted to experience this weather pattern from June 29 to July 2.

IMD issues an orange advisory for today’s rain in Delhi
On Saturday, cloudy skies, moderate to heavy rain, and thunderstorms are expected by IMD. Additionally, gusty gusts of 30 to 40 km/h are predicted. These weather conditions will result in an “orange” alert for Delhi. Additionally, “heavy” to “very heavy” rainfall is expected in Delhi during the weekend, according to the IMD. The lowest temperature could drop to 25 degrees Celsius, with the maximum temperature predicted to be approximately 32 degrees Celsius.
The India Meteorological Department reports that over Delhi NCR, several large-scale monsoonal weather systems have produced favorable circumstances for mesoscale convective activity. As a result, during the early hours of June 28, there were powerful thunderstorms and a lot of rain. This weather activity was ascribed by the IMD to thermodynamic instability in the atmosphere, which is conducive to thunderstorm generation.
Heavy rainfall in Gujarat
Widespread rainfall was brought on Friday by a cyclonic circulation across south Gujarat, and the weather office is predicting more rain over the following five days. A “yellow alert” was issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for south Gujarat, suggesting a high chance of heavy rain on Saturday.
These weather systems are predicted to bring an active wet spell to Gujarat during the next five days.
