Chandigarh Braces for Downpour: Yellow Alert Issued
Chandigarh and its neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana experienced a spell of moderate rainfall on July 31, 2025. The unexpected showers brought much-needed respite from the heat, leading to a pleasant dip in temperatures.
However, the pleasant weather came with its own set of challenges. Several roads across the city were waterlogged, causing minor disruptions to traffic flow.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert, warning of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms for the next four days. This advisory covers Chandigarh, Punjab, and Haryana.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. The IMD’s prediction necessitates preparedness for potential flooding and disruptions to daily life. Farmers in the region should also take steps to protect their crops. The coming days will be crucial for assessing the impact of this monsoon activity on the agricultural sector.
