Rainfall Forecast: What’s Coming and How to Stay Ready

Rain can turn a regular day into a hassle fast, so knowing what’s ahead helps you plan better. This page pulls together the latest rainfall forecasts from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and on‑ground reports across North India, Delhi‑NCR, UP, Rajasthan, and more.

Right now, IMD has issued heavy‑rain warnings for Delhi‑NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Himachal. Delhi saw rainfall of 27 mm on August 23, causing water‑logged roads and gridlocks. Similar patterns are expected in Noida and parts of Haryana, where the red alert means you’ll likely see sudden downpours in the evening.

Key Forecast Highlights for the Next Week

From September 1 to September 5, look for scattered showers across Delhi‑NCR with a chance of heavier bursts on September 3. Temperatures will dip to the low‑20s, making the rain feel cooler. In Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, the IMD forecasts isolated very heavy falls, especially in East Rajasthan, where rainfall could exceed 30 mm in a single day.

Further north, Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district is on a high‑risk alert after earlier landslides. If you’re traveling through mountain passes, expect fog, reduced visibility, and the possibility of road closures.

Practical Tips to Beat the Wet Weather

Carry a compact umbrella or a rain‑proof jacket whenever you step out. If you drive, keep your headlights clean and reduce speed; wet roads can double braking distance. For commuters, check real‑time traffic apps before heading out – they often flag flooded routes and suggest alternatives.

Protect electronics by using waterproof bags or cases. If you’re planning outdoor events, have a backup indoor venue ready. Simple steps like moving valuables to higher ground can prevent water damage during flash floods.

Farmers and garden lovers should watch the soil moisture levels. The current monsoon outlook shows enough rain to replenish fields, but too much in a short span can cause waterlogging. Drainage checks now can avoid bigger problems later.

Health‑wise, rain brings higher humidity, which can worsen asthma or allergy symptoms. Keep windows closed during peak humidity periods and use dehumidifiers if indoor air feels soggy. Stay hydrated; cooler temperatures often make people forget to drink enough water.

Finally, keep an eye on local news and the IMD website for updates. Forecasts can shift quickly, and staying informed is the cheapest way to stay safe.

Whether you’re heading to work, planning a trip, or just want to know if you need to bring an extra pair of socks, the rainfall forecast section will keep you in the loop with clear, actionable information.
