Heavy Rain Alert Issued for Four Districts in Uttarakhand
IN · Published Oct 1, 2026
• The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for heavy rainfall in four hilly districts of Uttarakhand: Chamoli, Bageshwar, Nainital, and Rudraprayag.
• The alert is in effect from 17 June to 22 June 2025, with intermittent rain already ongoing since 10 June.

Impact & Risks

Residents in the hilly districts of Chamoli, Bageshwar, Nainital, and Rudraprayag are at risk of heavy rainfall, which could lead to waterlogging, landslides, and disruptions in daily life. People living near rivers and streams are particularly vulnerable to rising water levels. Strong winds and thunderstorms in other districts may pose risks to infrastructure and personal safety. The ongoing pre-monsoon rains have already increased difficulties in mountainous areas, potentially exacerbating the situation.
