Himachal Braces for Monsoon Fury: Heavy Rains Forecast Till August 9
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for several districts in Himachal Pradesh, predicting heavy rainfall until August 9. Yellow warnings are in place for other areas.
This comes after recent downpours, with Bharari in Hamirpur district recording the highest rainfall at 110 mm. The IMD anticipates a significant drop in temperatures across the state.
The orange alerts signal a high likelihood of severe weather conditions, urging residents to exercise caution and remain vigilant. Authorities are on high alert, preparing for potential landslides and flooding.
This intense monsoon activity poses a significant threat to the state’s already fragile infrastructure, particularly in hill regions. The coming days will be crucial for assessing the damage and ensuring the safety of residents. The administration is actively working on preemptive measures to mitigate the impact of the expected heavy rainfall.
