Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for several states in eastern India, forecasting thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in isolated areas over the next 2-3 hours. The states likely to be affected include Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Assam, and Meghalaya.

Residents and authorities in these regions are advised to take necessary precautions to minimize risks associated with severe weather conditions. This includes staying indoors, avoiding open areas, and taking shelter in sturdy structures if thunderstorms approach. Additionally, people are urged to unplug electronic devices and avoid using landline phones during thunderstorms to reduce the risk of lightning-related accidents.

Thunderstorms and lightning are common weather phenomena during certain seasons, particularly in tropical regions. They can bring heavy rainfall, and strong winds, and pose a significant threat to life and property if proper precautions are not taken.

The IMD continues to monitor weather patterns closely and provides timely updates and warnings to help communities prepare for and respond to severe weather events. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and follow safety guidelines issued by local authorities during such weather conditions.
