This includes dressing warmly, staying indoors during extreme conditions, and ensuring the well-being of vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children. The cold weather may pose challenges to daily activities, emphasizing the importance of preparedness”.
The IMD plays a crucial role in monitoring and forecasting weather conditions across the country. Timely alerts and updates from the meteorological department enable residents, local authorities, and emergency services to make informed decisions and implement necessary measures to mitigate the impact of adverse weather.
