India Meteorological Department’s morning map lifts rain risk today, 02 September. Orange alerts are in force for Chhattisgarh, East Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand, signalling heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places. Adjoining belts stay showery. Travellers on hill and central India corridors should expect slower highways, brief inundation, and intermittent power flickers.
Uttar Pradesh moves to a multi‑day flood watch through Friday, 06 September. The state has asked vulnerable districts to prepare for intense spells and lightning. Travellers along low‑lying river stretches should watch rising levels, avoid underpasses during downpours, and plan flexible departures. Districts under flood watch are listed below for quick checks.
IMD Sep 2 alert: Orange for Chhattisgarh, East MP, Uttarakhand
Orange means “be prepared” for disruptive rain. In Uttarakhand, IMD’s city pages flag heavy to very heavy rain potential around Dehradun and Nainital today, raising landslide and stream‑swelling risk on hill routes. East Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh can see short, intense cells that overwhelm drains and slow trains. Keep buffers on intercity plans.
UP flood watch districts and colour codes
Flood‑watch districts today include Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, Chandauli, Ghazipur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Jaunpur, Bhadohi, Chitrakoot and Kaushambi. “Orange” denotes heavy to very heavy rain risk; “Yellow” signals watch and readiness. Keep devices charged and park on higher ground in these belts.
Delhi rain spells; Bengaluru evening thunderstorms; Kerala coastal thunder risk
Delhi‑NCR can catch showers in late afternoon and evening, with moderate rain likely; IMD’s Safdarjung forecast shows no formal warning. Expect slippery stretches and slower buses during bursts; metro remains the steadier bet. Carry a light rain jacket and plan buffers for airport runs.
Bengaluru stays mostly cloudy with light rain chances and 30–40 km/h winds today; IMD flags no warning, so evening thunderstorms look sporadic at best. Along Kerala’s coast, Alappuzha carries a daylong chance of light rain or a thunderstorm, so beachgoers should watch lightning alerts and expect brief power dips.
