Weather tomorrow June 25: IMD issues heavy rain warning for multiple states, thunderstorms likely in Delhi-NCR

Indian Meteorological Department forecasts cited by Indian media point to a busy weather day on June 25, with heavy to very heavy rain across parts of west, south and east India, thunderstorms in Delhi-NCR and heatwave conditions lingering in parts of north India.

Rain alerts across multiple states

Reports published on June 24 said the IMD had flagged heavy rain for Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Bihar, Odisha and Telangana. The coverage also indicated that the monsoon pattern was strengthening, with wet weather expected to continue along the west coast and in other monsoon-affected regions.

The forecast is aimed at a wide stretch of the country rather than a single city or state. The main risks in the heavier-rain belt are waterlogging, reduced visibility and local disruption to road and rail movement, especially if showers intensify overnight.

Thunderstorms likely in Delhi-NCR

Delhi-NCR is among the areas expected to see thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds. That raises the chance of short-term travel disruption and slower commutes, even where rainfall totals are not as high as in the coastal and eastern states.

June is also the period when Delhi commonly sees the first stronger monsoon-related weather systems of the season, so a thunderstorm forecast at this stage fits the broader seasonal pattern reported by the outlets.

Heat stress still a concern in the north

While much of the story is about rain, the forecast also keeps a heatwave alert in place for East Uttar Pradesh. Times of India also reported a heatwave alert for Vidarbha.

That mix of hazards matters because residents in different parts of the country may face opposite weather problems at the same time: flooding and waterlogging in some areas, and heat stress in others. The public-safety concerns include lightning, gusty winds, intense rain and the possibility of poor visibility on busy roads.

What to watch next

The next update point is whether the IMD upgrades or downgrades any alerts as June 25 unfolds. Local administrations in Mumbai, Goa and Delhi may also issue operational advisories if conditions worsen.

For now, the most important thing is that this is a forecast-led public-service alert: the weather risk is spread across several regions, and conditions can change quickly over the course of the day.
