IMD Weather Forecast Today, 25 October: India is right now into the transitional weather all over. The Indian Meteorological Department has different alerts for different states.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is tracking a developing low-pressure weather system over the Bay of Bengal. This is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm by October 26.

With that weather event, the department has issued a red alert for the southern part of the nation. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal face heavy to extremely heavy rainfall, while coastal Karnataka may also witness intense showers. Rainfall activity could increase along the eastern coast later this week.

Delhi and Delhi-NCR have witnessed very pleasant weather after the gusty winds, thunderstorms and drizzle from yesterday. But today, Delhi-NCR, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are likely to remain comparatively dry, with cooler nights and morning haze.

It rained in Delhi and the NCR because of a shift in weather conditions across all the states. Yesterday’s weather was driven by active thunderstorms, gusty winds, and alerts issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

It is highly advised right now to look at the weather forecast before you step out and be prepared with an umbrella. Residents should stay updated, as weather conditions can change quickly.
