The India Meteorological Department has issued a fresh weather alert for Sunday, July 19, warning of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds in several parts of the country. Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are among the regions specifically highlighted, with adverse weather expected across a total of 13 states.
According to the alert, some areas could see wind speeds reaching up to 85 kmph. The forecast also points to the possibility of intense thunderstorm activity, and the description indicates that hail may affect a few places along with the rain and gusty conditions.
The latest IMD outlook suggests a broad stretch of unstable weather rather than isolated showers, raising the risk of local disruption in rain-hit and storm-prone areas. Strong winds, lightning and heavy downpours can affect visibility, road movement and outdoor activity, especially during peak spell periods.
With the weather department flagging multiple hazards at once, residents in the affected states are likely to face a wet and stormy Sunday. The alert underlines that conditions may remain active across north and eastern parts of India, with Delhi, UP and Bihar among the key regions under watch.
