Heavy Rain Forecast for South India Until October 23; Delhi to Stay Dry
• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a prolonged spell of heavy rainfall across south peninsular India until October
• States such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and regions like Puducherry, Karaikal, and Lakshadweep are expected to experience significant rainfall. Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema are also likely to see heavy showers on Sunday. Meanwhile, Delhi is forecast to remain dry with clear skies and maximum temperatures ranging between 31°C and 35°C over the coming days. Other parts of India, including northwest, central, eastern, and northeastern regions, are not expected to witness significant weather activity during this period.
Impact & Risks
The heavy rainfall in southern India could lead to localised flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in daily life, particularly in low-lying areas. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the Arabian Sea near the Karnataka and Kerala coasts, as well as the Lakshadweep area, due to rough sea conditions. In contrast, Delhi and other northern regions are unlikely to face any immediate weather-related risks, with dry and stable conditions prevailing.
