This monsoon season has soaked most parts of the country and it seems that its last phase has become more active instead of weakening. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that heavy rains, thunderstorms and strong winds can be seen in different parts of the country for the next seven days i.e. from 10 to 16 September.
Monsoon has changed its course, now the second phase will come.
In many states of the country, rivers, streams and reservoirs have already been filled with water. Now IMD says that the monsoon has ‘turned’, and its effect will once again be seen in North, Northeast, South, West, Central and East India. During this time, heavy rains can create flood-like conditions in some areas, while at many places there will be light to moderate rains along with strong winds and thunderstorms.
