Fresh IMD alerts for Tuesday, October 6 flag isolated thunderstorms and gusty winds across parts of North India, while Kerala and Tamil Nadu are set for heavy rain spells. Lightning risk remains elevated. IMD guidance indicates 40–50 kmph gusts with thunderstorms over several northern states. Southern sub-divisions hold heavy rain warnings today, especially Tamil Nadu–Puducherry. Plan outdoor activity around unstable skies.
Storm risk builds through the afternoon as daytime heating interacts with a western disturbance. IMD’s Delhi forecast and three-hourly nowcast panels point to afternoon and evening thunder chances. Practical takeaway: expect the most frequent cells late afternoon into early night; track district-wise nowcasts before commuting.
IMD alert today: state and district-wise warnings
North focus: Haryana’s storm belt leans on the Shivalik flank today. Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Sonipat and Panipat sit under thunder and gust advisories. South focus: IMD flags heavy rain and lightning pockets over Kerala and Tamil Nadu, with Kerala districts including Ernakulam and Kottayam on alert, and fishermen urged caution along the coast.
IMD alert today: Delhi–NCR nowcast, AQI swing and travel watch
Delhi–NCR now: scattered showers are probable through October 6–8, which can briefly dip air quality before readings rebound once winds calm. Leave buffer time for road travel, as intense cells are short-lived yet disruptive. Flight watch: DEL during late-day cells; COK and MAA during persistent rain bands. Check airline alerts and airport apps during typical late-day peaks.
What changes on October 7: IMD expects broader rain coverage over Delhi–Haryana, while Himalayan states face frequent thunderstorms with 40–50 kmph gusts. Kerala’s heavy-rain window persists till Wednesday, then eases to scattered showers later this week. Travellers should recheck morning nowcasts, marine advisories and airline notifications before setting out on Wednesday.
