🚨 Red Flood Warning Issued for Northwest Gujarat and Southwest Rajasthan

Meteora Weather Service has issued a Red Flood Warning for the northwest parts of Gujarat and the southwest regions of Rajasthan, as heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely to trigger flooding and waterlogging in several low-lying areas.

🔴 Why This Warning?

The current monsoon system is expected to bring intense and continuous rainfall over these regions. With already saturated ground conditions, there is a high probability of flash floods, river swelling, and urban flooding, prompting the need for this Red Warning, the highest alert level.

🌧️ Impact Zones

• Northwest Gujarat: Districts in the Saurashtra-Kutch belt are expected to receive extremely heavy spells that may cause waterlogging, flash floods, and road disruptions.

• Southwest Rajasthan: Low-lying and desert fringe areas may see sudden flooding due to intense rainfall over short durations.

⚠️ Anticipated Impacts

• Flooding of low-lying areas and disruption in local transportation.

• Overflowing of small rivers, streams, and urban drains.

• Temporary disruption of power and communication lines.

• Risk to standing crops and agricultural fields.

✅ Situation in Rest of India

Outside these critical regions, most parts of India are expected to remain relatively safe with light to moderate rainfall activity, posing no major risk. Eastern, northeastern, and southern states may see scattered showers, but no severe weather threats are forecast.

🛑 Safety Advisory from Meteora Weather Service

• Avoid venturing out in flood-prone zones and waterlogged areas.

• Farmers should take precautionary steps to protect standing crops.

• Travelers are advised to check local advisories before planning road journeys.

• Keep essential supplies ready, and stay updated with local alerts.

📢 Final Word

Meteora Weather Service urges citizens in northwest Gujarat and southwest Rajasthan to remain vigilant and prepared. While the rest of the country is expected to remain safe, these flood-prone regions require immediate attention and caution.
