The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted “active monsoon conditions” over most parts of northwest India during the next four days. These states include Kerala, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Odisha, and others. Heavy rainfall in Kerala early on Tuesday caused massive landslides near Meppadi in Wayanad district, leaving several people suspected to be trapped. On the other hand, recent downpours led to waterlogging and flood-like conditions in various areas of Gujarat.
The weather office has issued orange alerts for heavy rain in Rajasthan (July 31), Madhya Maharashtra (August 1-2), coastal Karnataka (July 30), and parts of Kerala on Monday. Arunachal Pradesh is expected to have an orange alert on August 1-2, while alerts are also in place for West Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, and Chandigarh.
