Punjab Braces for Monsoon Fury: IMD Issues Nowcast Alert

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a nowcast alert on August 3, 2025, warning of impending thunderstorms, lightning, and rainfall across several tehsils in Punjab.

The alert specifically predicts moderate rainfall in certain areas, while lighter showers are expected more widely across the state.

Residents are urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions in the face of this predicted inclement weather.

Farmers, in particular, should take steps to protect their crops from potential damage. The IMD’s timely warning allows for proactive measures to minimise disruption and potential hazards associated with the expected downpour. This underscores the crucial role of weather forecasting in mitigating the impact of monsoon variability on agriculture and daily life in Punjab.
