Uttarakhand rains: Cloudburst hits Chamoli's Mukh village; SDRF team deployed
So far, there have been no reports of any loss of life due to the incident.
SDRF officials confirmed that a team has been dispatched to the site to assess the situation and provide necessary assistance.
Alaknanda river swells after heavy rains
Heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district and surrounding areas has led to a surge in the water level of the Alaknanda River on Monday. However, officials confirmed that the river continues to flow below the danger mark, offering temporary relief amid ongoing monsoon activity.
In neighbouring Himachal Pradesh, widespread rainfall has caused some localised disruptions to public utilities. Still, according to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC), water levels in all major dams remain safely within operational limits, and hydroelectric power generation remains largely unaffected.
The SEOC's Daily Dam Status Report, issued at 10:00 am on July 6, stated: 'The current pond levels of all dams are within permissible operational limits.'

Fisherman chic to hi-tech umbrellas: Trending monsoon fashion from Korea
This monsoon, Korea's youth are turning the rain into a runway with fisherman-inspired fashion, luxury rain boots, jelly shoes, and hi-tech umbrellas-see what's making waves! Let's be honest-getting caught in a downpour is nobody's idea of fun. But in Korea, monsoon season isn't just about dodging puddles; it's a full-blown style moment. With this year's monsoon being a bit of a tease (less rain so far, but temperatures soaring up to 35°C in Seoul), the streets are buzzing with new looks that blend utility, comfort, and a whole lot of attitude. For the youth who treat every street like a runway, here's how the rain is inspiring some seriously cool fashion choices. Fisherman Core - From Coastal Vibes to City Streets Say hello to "Fisherman Core"-the global trend that's got everyone from Gen Z to Gen X channeling their inner sailor. Think bucket hats, netted bags, and striped shirts-basically, if you look like you're about to hop on a boat, you're nailing it. This vibe first caught fire when celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and Justin Bieber were spotted rocking maritime-inspired fits. Pinterest even reported a 30% spike in searches for fisherman sandals and an 80% rise in sardine tattoos. In Korea, these nautical looks are everywhere this rainy season, with waterproof jackets, rain jumpers, and jelly shoes flying off the shelves. Rain Boots - Not Just for Farmers Anymore In some places, wearing rain boots outside the farm might get you weird looks, but in Seoul, it's a total flex. Whether you're splashing through Gangnam or waiting for the bus in Hongdae, rain boots are the must-have accessory. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo And we're not talking about boring old gumboots-luxury brands like Chanel have turned rubber boots into a status symbol, with their logo-stamped boots selling for around ₹2 lakh (KRW 3 million). Even Blackpink's Jennie made them airport-chic. But you don't have to drop a fortune to stay dry. Brands like Pro-Specs have launched ultra-light, ankle-length boots for women at just ₹51,000 (KRW 69,000), while Eider and Nepa are offering stylish, waterproof options that look more like designer Chelsea boots than something you'd wear to do chores. Men's rain boots are also trending hard, with British brand Barbour seeing sales jump over 140% this June alone. Jelly Shoes - The Y2K Throwback That's Cooler Than Ever If you grew up in the 2000s, you probably rocked jelly shoes at least once. Well, they're back-and they're fancier than ever. With the Y2K trend making a comeback, jelly shoes have gone from playground staple to high-fashion statement. Sales are exploding: on platforms like Musinsa, searches for jelly shoes are up 270%. Even luxury labels like The Row, Valentino, and Gucci are dropping their own versions, with prices ranging from ₹46,000 to ₹80,000 (KRW 63,000-114,000). But don't worry if you're on a budget. Brands like Rockfish Weatherwear and Heavenly Jelly are offering everything from customizable flats to strappy sandals, complete with all the glitter and color you could want. You can even add your own bling-think silver chains, pearls, and beaded flowers. Hi-Tech Umbrellas - Because Who Wants Wet Hands? Koreans are obsessed with umbrellas-rain or shine, everyone's got one. This season, the hottest accessory isn't just any umbrella, but the "belt-less" kind from Japanese brand Shupatto. These umbrellas automatically wrap themselves up when closed, so you never have to touch a soggy canopy again. Available in 10 colors and two sizes, they're selling for about ₹50,000 (KRW 68,000). No more umbrella-wrestling in the metro! Why This Feels So Relatable Honestly, monsoon fashion in Korea feels super close to home. Just like in Mumbai or Bangalore, where the rains turn the city into a giant obstacle course, Korean youth are finding ways to stay dry and look good doing it. The obsession with practical-yet-stylish rainwear, the nostalgia of jelly shoes, and the hunt for the perfect umbrella-these are the little things that make rainy days more bearable, no matter where you live. Maybe next time you're stuck in traffic, you'll spot someone in jelly shoes and realize, hey, we're all just trying to survive the rain in style.
