The below-normal monsoon rainfall has implications for India's water security and agricultural economy, which heavily depend on the monsoon for irrigation and water supply. Thunderstorms and gusty winds in Vidarbha could pose risks to life and property. Additionally, heavy rainfall in regions like Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands may lead to localised flooding and disruptions. Farmers and residents in affected areas should remain cautious, especially in regions expecting thunderstorms and lightning.
