IMD predicts heavy rainfall in Jharkhand over next 2 days
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted heavy rainfall across Jharkhand on Friday (July 25, 2025) and Saturday (July 26, 2025), an official said. For Friday, it issued an 'orange' alert (be prepared), predicting very heavy rainfall in three districts, and 'yellow' alert (be aware), forecasting heavy rainfall in 17 districts, he said. The 'orange' alert has been sounded for Saraikela-Kharswan, and East and West Singhbhum districts from 8.30 am on Friday to 8.30 am on Saturday, the official said. The districts that are likely to witness heavy rainfall during the period include Simdega, Gumla, Lohardaga, Khunti, Ranchi, Ramgarh, Bokaro, Hazaribag, Koderma, Giridih, Dhanbad, Jamtara, Deoghar, Dumka, Pakur, Godda and Sahibganj. "Jharkhand is expected receive widespread rainfall till July 29 under the influence of a low pressure system. A monsoon trough will also support the system, leading to rainfall. Very to very heavy rainfall is expected in several districts, mainly in south-east and south-central parts of the state, on Friday and Saturday," Ranchi Meteorological Centre's Deputy Director Abhishek Anand said. According to the IMD, the remnant of tropical cyclone 'Wipha' has emerged, and under its influence, a low-pressure area has formed over the north Bay of Bengal on Thursday. It is likely to become well marked during the next 24 hours and is likely to move west-northwestwards towards north Odisha and adjoining West Bengal coasts over the subsequent 48 hours. For July 26, an 'orange' alert has been sounded for Gumla, Simdega, Ranchi, Khunti, Saraikela-Kharswan, East and West Singhbhum, while an 'yellow' alert has been issued for Garhwa, Palamu, Latehar and Lohardaga. "People should remain alert, as surface runoff and inundation may occur at some fully saturated soils and low-lying areas," Anand said. Jharkhand recorded 52% surplus rainfall between June 1 and July 24, he said. The eastern state received 660.5 mm of rainfall against the normal of 434.7 mm during the period. East Singhbhum district recorded the highest surplus rainfall at 126%, followed by Saraikela-Kharswan at 106%, the official said.

Five districts in western Assam declared drought-hit
GUWAHATI Five districts in western Assam have been declared drought-hit, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said following a Cabinet meeting held in Dibrugarh on Wednesday (July 23, 2025) evening. Citing data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Central Ground Water Board, Mr. Sarma said that the districts of Baksa, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Dhubri, and Kokrajhar experienced a rainfall deficit of 40% over the past month. The deficient period coincided with the onset of the monsoon in the State. The Chief Minister said that farmers who had insured their crops under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana would be eligible for compensation. The declaration follows a review meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Ravi Kota on July 19, during which the government classified 27 districts as rainfall deficit zones. Of these, 14 districts were placed under the high rainfall deficit category, necessitating immediate intervention. Senior secretaries, in consultation with District Commissioners, were instructed to identify and demarcate affected areas and initiate the process for drought declaration. On July 22, Assam Agriculture Minister Atul Bora met Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in New Delhi to seek central support in view of the prevailing conditions. 'The Union Minister has agreed to visit Assam soon to assess the situation,' Mr. Bora said. Assam is not the only State in the northeast facing rain shortfalls. Meghalaya, too, has experienced lower-than-normal rainfall. Sohra and Mawsynram — traditionally among the wettest places on earth — have recorded significantly reduced precipitation this season. According to the IMD, Sohra received 1,095.4 mm of rainfall in June this year, which is nearly one-third of the 3,041.2 mm it recorded in June 2024.
