IMD warns of intense monsoon activity over next two days
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned Gurgaon of heavy rain and strong winds over the next 48 hours. This sudden weather shift brings relief after recent heatwaves, with temperatures already dipping below 33°C.
Cooler Weather as Rain Sweeps Across City
On Tuesday, Gurgaon recorded a maximum temperature of 32.6°C due to thick cloud cover and early morning showers. Minimum temperatures also dropped, signaling a cooler phase ahead. Light rain hit several parts of the city, offering respite from summer’s grip.
Yellow Alert in Place for Gurgaon and Neighboring Areas
The IMD issued a yellow alert, predicting moderate to heavy rainfall across the region. Isolated areas may see very heavy downpours, with wind speeds reaching up to 40 km/h. These conditions could disrupt traffic and outdoor activities.
Authorities are advising citizens to stay indoors and avoid travel during peak rainfall. The weather department continues to monitor the intensifying monsoon over northwest India.
Civic Teams Mobilized to Tackle Waterlogging
Waterlogging has appeared in low-lying areas, prompting civic agencies to clear drains and manage flood-prone zones. Response teams remain on standby to handle emergencies as schools and offices consider precautionary measures.
This spell of heavy rain is expected to last until Thursday, after which conditions should gradually improve. However, the IMD warns that more rain could follow in the coming weeks as the monsoon remains active.
Residents are urged to stay alert and prepared as Gurgaon faces another round of heavy monsoon showers.
