This warning, issued at 10:38 am on September 5, 2026, forecasts that heavy rainfall is likely to occur in the city, with expected rates exceeding 15 mm per hour over the next two to three hours.

The IMD’s warning indicates that there will also be a potential for moderate thunderstorms and gusty winds during this period. Residents are expected to take these forecasts seriously, given the adverse conditions predicted.

In light of the projected weather disturbances, citizens are encouraged to stay informed and prepared for possible disruptions related to the heavy rain.

Travel Warnings and Safety Precautions

In response to the anticipated weather, residents are advised to avoid non-essential travel wherever possible. Those who must venture out during the adverse weather conditions have been urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.

In particular, individuals travelling during this time are reminded to exercise caution and adjust their plans according to the weather conditions. Safety measures should include carrying appropriate gear and being aware of surroundings while on the move.

Additionally, residents are told to avoid routes that are prone to waterlogging, especially underpasses and low-lying areas, where flash floods may occur quickly during heavy rainfall.

Warnings Regarding Hazardous Conditions

The public advisory emphasises the importance of steering clear of waterlogged roads and flooded areas. Residents are cautioned against attempting to traverse flooded stretches, as the situation can deteriorate rapidly due to rising water levels.

Moreover, with gusty winds predicted, it is crucial for individuals to maintain distance from trees, electric poles, and overhead wires. Authorities suggest that citizens should exercise heightened caution when outdoors, especially during thunderstorms and strong winds.

The District Disaster Management Authority has instructed all relevant departments and emergency response teams to remain on high alert and prepare for any incidents arising from the severe weather conditions.
