IN · Published Nov 12, 2026
• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms in Jammu and Kashmir today.
• Additionally, thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds are forecasted for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands over the next two to three days.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in Jammu and Kashmir may lead to localised flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in daily life. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as well as coastal areas of Kerala, Mahe, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, may experience strong winds and lightning, posing risks to outdoor activities and marine operations. Fishermen in the Andaman Sea are particularly at risk due to rough sea conditions. In Delhi-NCR, the 'Very Poor' air quality could exacerbate respiratory issues, especially for vulnerable groups.
