The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a ‘red’ alert for Goa, forecasting heavy rains in parts of both the districts of the coastal state on Thursday. The weather department has predicted inundation of houses in low-lying areas, fall of weak trees and structures, localised and short-term disruption of essential services, and low visibility during intense rain spells.
The State Disaster Management Authority has set up two different helplines and control rooms, one each in North Goa and South Goa districts, for people to contact in case of any flooding.
Orange alert for Gujarat
According to the IMD, light or moderate widespread rainfall interspersed with isolated heavy to very heavy showers (64.5 mm-204.5 mm) are likely to batter Gujarat state during the next five days, until Monday (July 10).
Further, isolated extremely heavy falls (more than 204.5 mm) are also forecast over the Gujarat region on Friday (July 7) and Saurashtra-Kutch on Friday and Saturday (July 7-8).
In view of these forecasts, an orange alert (meaning ‘be prepared’) has been issued over the Gujarat region until Monday and Saurashtra and Kutch for the next four days, until Sunday.

Heavy rain lashes Delhi-NCR
The residents of Delhi woke up to rain on Thursday for the second consecutive day as light to moderate rain lashed parts of Delhi, leading to waterlogging in several areas, as the national capital’s minimum temperature settled a notch below normal at 26.5 degrees Celsius.
The city recorded 5 mm rainfall in the 24 hours ended at 8.30 am, according to the India Meteorological Department.
The rain caused areas such as Lajpat Nagar, Neb Sarai, Mehrauli, Burari and Dwarka to go underwater, leading to traffic jams.
The Met office has predicted more showers over the next few days in the national capital and its adjoining areas.
