As the weather in Uttarakhand remains unpredictable, the Meteorological Department has issued a rain alert for five districts today. This alert emphasizes the possibility of heavy rainfall in several regions, signaling that the monsoon farewell is still delayed, and it could be a while before the state sees clearer skies.
Rain Alert for 5 Districts
According to the latest Uttarakhand weather update, the districts of Dehradun, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Champawat, and Udham Singh Nagar are under a heavy rainfall alert.

Local authorities have also been advised to take precautionary measures and keep a close watch on vulnerable areas. The monsoon showers in these districts have been relentless, with more showers expected today.
