The intensified monsoon poses risks of landslides in hill states like Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, particularly in districts such as Dehradun, Nainital, Chamoli, and Pithoragarh. Heavy rain and strong winds may disrupt transportation and outdoor activities in affected regions. In eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, travel plans during Raksha Bandhan may be impacted due to thunderstorms and hailstorms. Farmers and commuters are advised to remain cautious, as lightning strikes and gusty winds could pose safety hazards.
