The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a thunderstorm alert for Punjab as monsoon activity gradually strengthens across northern India. Several districts are expected to experience thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds and light to moderate rainfall over the next 24 hours. The changing weather conditions are likely to bring relief from the prevailing heat while increasing the possibility of localized disruptions.
The IMD has advised residents to stay updated with official weather forecasts and exercise caution during thunderstorms, particularly in open areas and while traveling. Farmers have also been encouraged to plan agricultural activities according to weather advisories to minimize crop damage. Authorities remain on alert to respond promptly to any weather-related emergencies.
