Storm Alert Across 13 Indian States: IMD Warns of Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms, and Winds Up to 60 km/h

The India Meteorological Department has issued a widespread weather alert across 13 states in India for April 29, warning of thunderstorms, rainfall, and strong winds reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h. The sudden shift in weather is being attributed to an active western disturbance combined with local atmospheric instability.

States across North and East India, including parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal, are expected to witness intense weather activity. Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious, especially in areas prone to lightning strikes, dust storms, and sudden gusty winds.

The changing weather pattern is likely to bring temporary relief from the ongoing heatwave conditions in several regions. However, officials have also cautioned that strong winds and lightning could pose risks to life and property, particularly in rural and open areas.

The IMD has urged people to follow safety advisories, avoid sheltering under trees during storms, and stay indoors during peak weather activity. Farmers and travelers have also been advised to take necessary precautions as the unstable weather could impact crops and transportation.
