IMD alert today: Bihar, Odisha, East Madhya Pradesh risk zones
Orange warnings continue across Bihar, Odisha and East Madhya Pradesh through today, with isolated very heavy pockets. Bihar districts including Patna, Lakhisarai, Madhubani, Bhagalpur, Purnia, Darbhanga and Buxar are flagged for thunderstorms and heavy rain.

IMD alert today: Kerala thunderstorm and high‑wave watch; Karnataka outlook
Kerala’s high‑wave advisory remains active until 08:30 today for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Alappuzha coasts. Morning thunderstorms are possible alongside 30–40 kmph gusts. Fishermen and beachgoers should avoid near‑shore waters during the window. Bengaluru keeps scattered shower chances today, with the city forecast showing light rain and no major warning.
IMD alert today: Delhi–NCR commute watch and travel delays
For Delhi–NCR commutes, avoid low‑lying underpasses and plan longer airport transfer times. Gurgaon’s guidance covers offices and schools today, aiming to ease peak congestion. Monday’s downpour slowed flights and clogged key corridors. Check airline apps, airport handles and traffic advisories before departure. Metro services may crowd as road speeds drop.
How to self‑verify today’s IMD alerts and timing windows
Self‑verify conditions before stepping out. Use IMD’s three‑hourly Nowcast, district‑wise warnings and Doppler radar loops for your city. Daily warnings are valid 08:30 to 08:30, so mid‑day updates often sharpen timing. Track flash‑flood guidance for watershed hotspots. Follow SDMA feeds and use the DAMINI lightning app to gauge strike proximity.
