The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued varied weather warnings for Thursday, July 16, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall across Eastern and Northeastern India, including Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, and the Northeast. Thunderstorms and gusty winds are also anticipated in various regions. Concurrently, Delhi-NCR is expected to see cloudy skies with light rain, while hot and humid conditions will persist across parts of North India. The IMD also noted localized heavy rainfall warnings for states like Himachal Pradesh and issued a red warning for Odisha due to a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Meanwhile, reports indicate contrasting conditions elsewhere; the monsoon has been delayed in some areas like Punjab and Haryana, with varying rainfall deficits against long-period averages, while coastal Andhra Pradesh faces a heatwave.
