Uttarakhand Weather Update: IMD issues orange, yellow alerts in several areas until August 14
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange and yellow alert on Sunday to warn of heavy to very heavy rains and thunderstorms between August 10 and August 14.
According to the weather department, heavy rain may occur in isolated places in the Bageshwar, Dehradun, Tehri, Pauli, Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Nainital, Nainital, Udham Singh Nagar and Champawat areas.
The meteorological department said thunderstorms accompanied by lightning could occur in isolated areas in all areas of Uttarakhand.
The orange alarm is a warning for extremely bad weather and has the potential to interfere with commuters with closed roads and railroads and interrupt power, while the yellow alarm is issued to citizens, involving severely harsh weather within a few days. This also suggests that weather may change as a result of deterioration, resulting in disruption in daily activities.
Meanwhile, the Uttarkashi regional government is constantly working to help people affected by the recent disasters in Dalari and Hashir. By 11 a.m. Sunday, 20 people had been rescued safely in Matli Helipad and after receiving first aid, they were taken to their destination.
