Weather today highlights: Flash flood warning in Himachal, Bengal to see continuous rain

New Delhi, India Jul 12, 2026 ALN: Weather today highlights: The recent weather events across India have led to widespread disruption, with heavy rainfall causing severe waterlogging, uprooted trees, traffic congestion, and unfortunately, fatalities in several states. On Friday, various regions of India experienced unrelenting downpours, prompting emergency responses and warnings from meteorological departments. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for continued heavy rainfall in West Bengal over the weekend, indicating that the state will remain under the influence of the monsoon system that has been active in the region.

In Mizoram, the situation has been particularly challenging, with around 80 families being relocated to safer areas due to the relentless rainfall. This has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of those affected, as incidents of landslides and rockfalls have been reported at approximately 29 locations across the state. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported in Mizoram, but the potential for further incidents remains high as the weather continues to be unstable.

In Himachal Pradesh, the weather has taken a dangerous turn, with two individuals reported injured due to a landslide. The local meteorological department has issued a flash flood warning, indicating the potential for sudden and severe flooding in susceptible areas. As a precautionary measure, schools in the Sirmaur and Solan districts have been closed to protect students from the adverse weather conditions. The government and local authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and emergency services are on standby to respond to any incidents that may occur.
