No Flash Flood Threat Observed or Forecast Across India

• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued the National Flash Flood Guidance Bulletin dated 10 June
• As of 1730 IST, rainfall of up to 13 mm in the last six hours and up to 112 mm in the last 24 hours has been recorded in parts of Gangetic West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Kerala, and Mahe. Despite these rainfall levels, no flash flood threat has been observed in the past six hours, and none is expected in the next six hours. The 24-hour outlook, valid until 1730 IST on 11 June 2026, also indicates no flash flood risk. The bulletin highlights nearly saturated watersheds (70-95% soil saturation) in regions such as Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Assam & Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur, Tripura, Kerala & Mahe, and Tamil Nadu - Puducherry & Karaikal.

Impact & Risks

Currently, there are no immediate risks of flash flooding across the country. However, areas with nearly saturated watersheds, such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and parts of the northeast, may be more vulnerable to potential flooding if heavy rainfall persists. Residents in these regions should remain cautious and monitor updates from the IMD. The absence of a flash flood threat provides temporary relief, but continued rainfall could exacerbate soil saturation levels, increasing the risk of localised flooding.
