The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy to very heavy rain alert across over ten Indian states from May 21 to May 24, 2025. This forecast is driven by a developing cyclonic circulation over the east-central Arabian Sea near the Karnataka coast, which is expected to evolve into a low-pressure system by May 22. Notable regions included in the alert are Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and several northeastern states. Additionally, cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Guwahati are expected to experience thunderstorms and significant rainfall. The monsoon update indicates widespread rain activity across southern, central, and northeastern parts of the country, marking an early and intense pre-monsoon surge. Both residents and authorities in the affected regions are advised to remain vigilant and prepared for potential weather disruptions. (PC: The Economic Times)
