Delhi stays mostly dry today, with rain odds rising Friday. Bengaluru may see pockets of showers. Kerala readies for afternoon thunderstorms. Travellers should expect weather disruptions regionally.

IMD’s evening bulletin places Mayurbhanj under a red alert for extremely heavy rain today. Squally winds of 40–50 kmph, gusting to 60 kmph, are likely along and off the Odisha coast till September 11. District colour codes may update through the day on IMD’s interactive map. Avoid low‑lying stretches and watch nowcasts from IMD Bhubaneswar.

IMD Weather Alert: Odisha Red Alert Issued for Heavy Rain, Bihar and Jharkhand Brace for Storms

IMD today: Bihar–Jharkhand heavy rain, Delhi mostly dry

Patna’s forecast shows generally cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rain potential today. Ranchi’s forecast signals moderate rain with thunderstorms and gusts of 30–40 kmph. Localised flooding and tree falls can slow rail corridors. East Coast Railway recently heightened monsoon readiness across vulnerable sections. Add buffer time and avoid waterlogged underpasses in urban stretches.

City-wise advisories: Delhi, Bengaluru, Kerala thunderstorms

Delhi University station lists 27–35°C with low rain odds today, but light rain Friday. Carry water and a sunshade for the commute. Bengaluru stays partly cloudy with light rain at a few spots. Watch flood‑prone stretches and the airport approach during bursts. Kerala expects afternoon and evening thunderstorms; no fishing ban on Kerala coast today, but monitor lightning.

Travel impact: flights, rails, and live nowcasts

Airport Today’s weather delay risk Quick tip
Bhubaneswar (BBI) High, red‑alert region Arrive early; track live boards and IMD nowcasts.
Patna (PAT) Moderate to high Carry rain cover; expect possible ATC spacing.
Ranchi (IXR) Moderate to high Watch for convective holds and reroutes.

Use IMD’s district warnings and station nowcasts before starting out, then recheck closer to departure. For Odisha’s coast, heed squall guidance through September 11. Delhi commuters get easier travel today, but keep options flexible from Friday. Flight trackers for BBI, PAT, and IXR help validate gate timings during bursts. Keep lightning safety front‑of‑mind across Kerala.
