CWC reports above-normal water levels at 11 river monitoring stations in India, but none have reached danger or extreme flood levels; inflow forecasts issued for 23 reservoirs.

11 river sites across India breach flood warning levels, says govt water body

<p>CWC reports above-normal water levels at 11 river monitoring stations in India, but none have reached danger or extreme flood levels; inflow forecasts issued for 23 reservoirs.</p>

<p>Water levels at 11 river monitoring stations across India have breached the warning level, but none have reached the danger or extreme flood thresholds, the Central Water Commission (CWC) said on Wednesday.</p>
<p>This alert is part of the commission&rsquo;s daily flood bulletin released by the Central Flood Control Room.</p>
<p>The bulletin indicates there are currently no sites in the &ldquo;severe&rdquo; or &ldquo;extreme&rdquo; flood situation categories, meaning that no location has reached or surpassed its danger mark or highest historical flood level.</p>
<p>However, 12 sites in Assam, Bihar, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh were flagged for &ldquo;above-normal&rdquo; flood situations, where water levels have crossed the warning threshold but remain below danger levels.</p>
<p>In Assam, the Kushiyara River in Karimganj and the Brahmaputra at Neamatighat in Jorhat are among those nearing concern levels.</p>
<p>Bihar remains under observation, with elevated water levels in the Kosi at Baltara, Bagmati at Benibad, and Gandak at Dumariaghat.</p>
<p>Uttar Pradesh is closely monitoring four sites, including the Ganga at Fatehgarh and Kachhla Bridge, Ghagra at Elginbridge, and Gandak at Khadda, which touched the warning level at 95 metres.</p>
<p>Odisha reported above-normal levels at Mathani Road Bridge and Rajghat on the Subarnarekha, both in Baleshwar district.</p>
<p>In Tamil Nadu, water levels at Musiri on the Cauvery River also crossed the warning level.</p>
<p>In terms of reservoir and barrage inflows, the CWC issued inflow forecasts for 23 sites across 10 states, including Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.</p>
<p>The majority of Karnataka&rsquo;s major reservoirs, including Almatti, Narayanapur, and Tungabhadra, are experiencing rising or steady trends with high inflow volumes.</p>
<p>The Rengali Reservoir in Odisha and Durgapur Barrage in West Bengal also witnessed significant inflows, raising alerts for potential downstream impacts.</p>
<p>Despite active monsoon conditions, the CWC confirmed that none of the river stations have reached or exceeded their previous highest flood levels.&nbsp;</p>

Heavy rains lashed Kerala on Thursday, prompting the IMD to issue an orange alert in seven districts. Flooding was reported in parts of Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur, while the Chooralmala River swelled dangerously near Wayanad.

Monsoon rains getting stronger in Kerala; orange alert in 7 districts

<p>Heavy rains lashed Kerala on Thursday, prompting the IMD to issue an orange alert in seven districts. Flooding was reported in parts of Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur, while the Chooralmala River swelled dangerously near Wayanad.</p>

<p>Monsoon rains got stronger in Kerala on Thursday with some parts of Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur districts getting flooded and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing an orange alert in seven districts in the morning.</p>
<p>The IMD issued an orange alert in Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, Ernakulam and Thrissur districts for three hours in the morning.</p>
<p>An orange alert means very heavy rain of 11 cm to 20 cm.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, continuous rains in Wayanad district's Mundakkai-Chooralmala region resulted in the Chooralmala River being in strong spate, with muddy water flowing forcefully and eroding the banks near the Bailey bridge.</p>
<p>Last year in July, deadly landslides in the region had claimed over 200 lives and destroyed countless homes.</p>

The southwest monsoon, arriving earlier than usual, will blanket northwest India, including Delhi, by June 25. It initially entered Kerala on May 24, marking an unusual early onset critical for agriculture and water resources in the region.

Monsoon likely to cover Delhi by June 22

The monsoon reaches northwest India earlier than usual, bringing relief from heatwaves and promising above-normal rainfall. Critical for agriculture, this early onset marks significant weather patterns. Delhi to experience conditions by June 22.

<p>The southwest monsoon will cover northwest India by June 25, arriving in Delhi earlier than usual. It initially reached Kerala on May 24 and is crucial for agriculture and water resources.</p>

<p>The southwest monsoon, which rapidly covered large parts of central, western and eastern India over the last two days, is expected to reach Delhi and some parts of Haryana and Punjab in the next two to three days.</p>
<p>The India Meteorological Department's (IMD) extended-range-model guidance predicts rainfall over large parts of northwest India, including Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, east Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, between June 20 and June 25.</p>
<p>An IMD official confirmed that the system is likely to reach Delhi by June 22, ahead of the normal onset date of June 30.</p>
<p>According to the weather department's extended-range forecast, the primary rain-bearing system will cover the remaining parts of the country in the following week, well ahead of the usual dates.</p>
<p>The primary rain-bearing system reached Kerala on May 24, marking its earliest onset over the Indian mainland since 2009, when it arrived on May 23.</p>
<p>Aided by strong low-pressure systems over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, monsoon advanced quickly over the next few days, covering parts up to central Maharashtra, including Mumbai, and the entire northeast by May 29.</p>
<p>However, this was followed by a prolonged stagnation of around 18 days, from May 29 to June 16.</p>
<p>The lack of rainfall since early June led to a sharp rise in temperatures, triggering heatwave conditions across large parts of northwest and central India since June 8-9.</p>
<p>Monsoon advanced quickly from June 16 to June 18 due to two low-pressure systems forming on June 17 -- one over West Bengal and the other over Gujarat.</p>
<p>The rain system usually makes its onset over Kerala by June 1, reaches Mumbai by June 11 and covers the entire country by July 8. It starts retreating from northwest India around September 17 and withdraws completely by October 15.</p>
<p>Meteorologists say the date of monsoon onset does not directly correlate with the total seasonal rainfall. An early or delayed arrival in Kerala or Mumbai does not necessarily indicate similar progress in other parts of the country.</p>
<p>They say monsoon is influenced by complex global, regional and local factors, and is marked by significant variability.</p>
<p>In May, the IMD had forecast that India was likely to receive 106 per cent of the long-period average (LPA) rainfall of 87 cm during the June-September monsoon season. Rainfall between 96 per cent and 104 per cent of this 50-year average is considered "normal".</p>
<p>Above-normal rainfall is expected in most parts of the country, except Ladakh, adjoining areas of Himachal Pradesh, the northeast and some parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha.</p>
<p>Some isolated areas in Punjab, Haryana, Kerala and Tamil Nadu may record below-normal rainfall.</p>
<p>Monsoon is crucial for India's agriculture sector, which supports the livelihood of around 42 per cent of the population and contributes 18.2 per cent to the GDP.</p>
<p>It also plays a key role in replenishing the reservoirs essential for drinking water and power generation.</p>

The southwest monsoon arrives in Delhi by June 22, advancing swiftly across India. It's crucial for agriculture, impacting 42% of the population, following its earliest arrival in Kerala since 2009.

Delhi monsoon expected to arrive June 22

The southwest monsoon progresses rapidly across India, reaching Delhi by June 22, offering much-needed relief and resources vital for agriculture and water supply, following its earliest arrival in Kerala since 2009.

Monsoon To Reach Delhi Ahead Of Schedule

<p>The southwest monsoon is advancing rapidly across India, reaching Delhi by June 22, earlier than its usual date.</p>

India's monsoon season is set for above-normal rainfall, vital for agriculture. IMD predicts a split in rain patterns across the country.

IMD Forecasts Above-Normal Monsoon Rainfall

The IMD predicts above-normal monsoon rainfall, with varied impacts across regions. Central and South India expect increased rains, crucial for agriculture, while the Northeast may face deficits.

<p>IMD forecasts India to receive 106% above-normal rainfall in the monsoon season, key for agriculture in core zones like Madhya Pradesh.</p>

<p>India is likely to receive above-normal rainfall amounting to 108 per cent of the long-period average in June, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The weather office said the country may receive 106 per cent of the long-period average rainfall of 87 cm during the entire monsoon season.</p>
<p>At a press conference, M Ravichandran, Secretary in the Ministry of Earth Sciences, said the monsoon core zone is expected to get above-normal rainfall (more than 106 per cent of the long-period average) this season.</p>
<p>The monsoon core zone includes parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Odisha, and nearby areas. This region gets most of its rain during the Southwest Monsoon and depends heavily on it for agriculture.</p>
<p>Northwest India is likely to receive normal rainfall, while the Northeast may see below-normal rain. Central and south peninsular India are expected to record above-normal rainfall, IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.</p>

Monsoon 2024: 4 effective remedies to eliminate musty smell this season

<h2>Monsoon season often brings an annoying musty smell into our homes. Here are 4 simple remedies to eliminate it</h2>

<p>Monsoons are here, and we all love to enjoy this season with some chai and pakoras by our side. However, the lovely breeze often brings an unpleasant musty smell into our homes.</p>
<p>One of the most common reasons for this odour is the high humidity during the monsoon season. The moisture in the air makes the environment inside your home damp and warm, creating the perfect conditions for fungi and mold to thrive.</p>
<h3><strong>4 simple remedies you can try at home to eliminate this annoying smell</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Burn Camphor (Kapoor)</strong>: Light a few pieces of camphor to eliminate fungal growth and unpleasant odours.</p>
<p><strong>Let in Sunlight:&nbsp; </strong>Whenever the sky is clear, allow sunlight to enter your home. Cross ventilation will help to remove the musty smell.</p>
<p><strong>Use White Vinegar:</strong> White vinegar is an effective agent against bad odours. Place it in a wide-mouthed bowl in your room, and you'll notice the smell gradually disappear.</p>
<p><strong>Place Salt Bags:</strong> Put some sea salt or white salt in cloth bags, seal them, and leave them in the smelly rooms to absorb the odour.</p>

This monsoon make changes to your diet and reduce hairfall. Here are a few simple changes to make.

5 Diet changes to make in monsoon to reduce hairfall

<h2>This monsoon make changes to your diet and reduce hairfall. Here are a few simple changes to make.</h2>

<p>Monsoon is here and so is excessive hairfall. Hair fall during the monsoon season can be attributed to several factors including the humid weather and constant exposure to rain. Rainy season also means wet scalp and increased scalp infections that make your hair more susceptible to damage and breakage.</p>
<p>This monsoon reduce your hairfall by making simple changes to your diet. Here are some tips.</p>
<h3><strong>4 Dietary changes to help reduce hairfall</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Add omegas to your diet</strong></p>
<p>Add Omega-3 fatty acids into your diet this monsoon. This can be a total game changer. Omega-3s are essential for maintaining a healthy scalp and promoting hair growth. Consuming fatty fish will help improve your hair quality and texture. If you are a vegetarian, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts are excellent sources.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Vitamin A&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Another nutrient to add to your diet is Vitamin A. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens like spinach. Vitamin A helps in sebum production, a natural oil that keeps your scalp moisturised and healthy.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Iron-rich foods</strong></p>
<p>During monsoon, make sure to include iron-rich foods to your diet. Foods like lean meats, beans, lentils, and fortified cereals should be a staple in your diet. If you pair these with Vitamin C-rich foods, this can enhance iron absorption.</p>
<p><strong>Increase water intake&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Hydration is crucial, especially during the monsoon season when humidity levels are high. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your scalp hydrated and flushes out toxins from your system. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day. Incorporate hydrating fruits and vegetables, like cucumbers and melons, into your diet to help maintain moisture levels in your hair, preventing dryness and breakage.</p>

Travelling to the mountains this monsoon? 5 precautions one must follow to be safe

<h2>This monsoon stay safe and avoid exploring the mountains. However, if you have to travel make sure to stay safe by following a few tips and precautions.</h2>

<p>Monsoon has wreaked havoc across the country. While many love exploring beaches and mountains during monsoon and being a part of monsoon tourism, it is dangerous and life-threatening. Many tourists across Himachal Pradesh are stuck after a cloudburst resulted in heavy rains and massive landslides.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, if you have to travel to the mountains this monsoon, make sure to follow a few precautions to remain safe.</p>
<h3><strong>Precautions to keep in mind if travelling to the mountains in monsoon</strong></h3>
<p><strong>1. Always be updated with the weather</strong></p>
<p>When heading to the mountains, make sure you are always up to date with the weather conditions. Follow local news channels closely and talk to the locals for time-to-time updates. If heavy rain is forecasted, trust it and look for a safer spot to stay.</p>
<p><strong>2. Waterproof clothes, appropriate shoes</strong></p>
<p>When heading to the mountains, do not compromise on your clothes and shoes. When planning for the trip, avoid carrying heels, open shoes, cotton clothes and flared pants. Instead, invest in waterproof shoes that will protect your feet.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Make sure to also carry synthetic clothes, raincoats and wind-cheaters when heading to the mountains.</p>
<p><strong>3. Do not explore hidden paths, stay away from waterfalls</strong></p>
<p>Unlike what Robert Frost suggested, do not take the road not taken when travelling in the mountains. Avoid unknown roads and do not let your adventurous side out during the monsoon.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Make sure to avoid going to waterfalls as they are unpredictable and waterflow may change in seconds without prior warning.</p>
<p><strong>4. Thorough checking of vehicles</strong></p>
<p>It is better to be safe and be doubly sure about your vehicles. Make sure to check your bike or car's skid properties, optimal tyre pressure and wheel balance. One should also check the headlights and fog lights to see if they are in working condition.<strong><br></strong></p>
<p><strong>5. Avoid camping in low-lying areas</strong></p>
<p>With landslides and flash floods frequent in monsoons, avoid camping in low-lying areas or near the river banks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India relies heavily on monsoons for agricultural purposes, bringing a sight of relief for the farmers. But in the last few decades, the same weather pattern has become a worry as it brings widespread destruction and displacement.</p>

<p>Amid the ongoing monsoon season in India, many states are reeling under harsh rains and flash floods. On the 8th of July India's financial capital, Mumbai received more than 300 mm (11.8 inches) of rain in six hours, crippling life of 12 million people.</p>
<p>Similarly, the northeastern Assam state was hit by floods induced by heavy rains, killing at least 66 people and affecting 3 million people in four districts.</p>
<p>India relies heavily on monsoons for agricultural purposes, bringing a sight of relief for the farmers. But in the last few decades, the same weather pattern has become a worry as it brings widespread destruction and displacement.</p>
<p>A study by American Geophysical Union, published in 2020, showed that the most devastating floods in the past two decades like the Kerala floods in August 2018, the Chennai floods in 2015, the Uttarakhand floods in June 2013, Leh floods in June 2010 and Mumbai floods in June 2005 had a same weather phenomenon in common.</p>
<p>The floods were caused when multiple low-pressure systems occurred together spatially and temporally to create a deep convention system and led to large-scale heavy rainfall.</p>
<p>Apart from climate change, many poorly planned developmental projects have caused catastrophic climatic events in India in the recent past.</p>
<p>In 2023, the flash floods in Himachal Pradesh killed about 150 people and caused the destruction of property worth 10, 000 crores. Many experts opined that the rampant hydropower projects and uncontrolled tourist influx contributed to the extreme weather events and made the landscape unstable.</p>
<p>Similarly, improper dam management in the eastern Vidarbha region in Maharashtra caused flooding in the area in 2020, damaging nearly 90 hectares of farmland and submerging 4 districts.</p>
<p>Over the years, the monsoon-related deaths and floods have only increased. In 2023, the then Minister of State for Jal Shakti ministry Bishweswar Tadu said that 17,422 people have died due to floods from 2012 to 2021. The highest number of deaths stood at 2754 in 2019. It also caused massive destruction to crops, houses and public utilities, with the government incurring losses amounting to Rs 2.76 lakh crore.</p>
<p><strong>Water bodies encroached</strong></p>
<p>One of the reasons being attributed to flash floods is the encroachment of water bodies, heavy rainfalls, insufficient drainage and siltation in rivers.</p>
<p>A report by the Jal Shakti Ministry revealed that more than 2,400 water bodies have been encroached. Surprisingly, 97.1% of encroachment has taken place in rural areas. Water bodies act as natural reservoirs as they soak in excess rainwater and prevent flooding in adjoining areas. However. rampant construction has caused these natural wetlands to go extinct.</p>
<p><strong>How is Indian govt preparing</strong></p>
<p>The Central government in its XII Plan, approved the continuation of &ldquo;Flood Management Programme&rdquo; with an outlay of Rs.10,000 crore. Under this, the government has been developing and rejuvenating water bodies across the country, carrying out intensive afforestation, and creating awareness.</p>
<p>With global warming and harsh weather events becoming more frequent than ever before, it begs the question of whether India, with a 1.43 billion population, is taking concrete steps to tackle the new reality of hash monsoons and flash floods.</p>

Monsoons bring respite from the scorching summer days but humidity can be a mood dampener. Here are some strategies which can help you embrace the beauty of the season while staying irritation-free.

Monsoon care: From cotton clothes to proper skincare, tips to beat humidity challenges this rainy season

<h2>Monsoons bring respite from the scorching summer days but humidity can be a mood dampener. Here are some strategies which can help you embrace the beauty of the season while staying irritation-free.</h2>

<p>The long-awaited monsoon has finally arrived, rescuing us from the scorching summer heat. The sky, draped in a blanket of clouds, brings much needed relief. The gentle pattering of rain drops becomes our favourite bringing cosy moments with tea, fritters, hot snacks, and meaningful conversations with loved ones.</p>
<h3>Discomfort of humidity</h3>
<p>Amid the joy of rain, there's a challenge which is the discomfort of increased humidity. The dampness can be annoying, making clothes and skin feel heavy and sticky. This rise in humidity also triggers the skin's oil production, leading to clogged pores. To enjoy the monsoon fully, it's essential to navigate around these challenges and stay irritation-free.</p>
<h3><strong>Mastering monsoon fashion with ease</strong></h3>
<p>It's better to ditch denim and tight-fitting clothes during the monsoon. Choosing lighter clothing is crucial during this season. Fabrics like cotton and linen are breathable and prevent clothes from becoming sticky with moisture. Opting for loose attire enhances comfort by allowing air circulation and minimising sweat accumulation. Wearing a cotton camisole beneath clothes also creates a barrier that reduces stickiness and discomfort.</p>
<h3>Monsoon skincare&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Skin care demands extra attention in humid weather. Increased oil secretion can lead to acne. Opt for oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturisers. Regular cleansing helps to keep pores clear. Regular exfoliation is recommended to remove dead skin cells and prevent pore blockages. Maintaining hygiene by showering daily and changing into fresh clothes helps to combat stickiness and maintain skin health.</p>
<p>Hygiene extends beyond skincare to include clothing care. Hair care is equally important. Regular shampooing prevents oily buildup that can attract dust and lead to scalp discomfort. Hydrating is equally essential but particularly crucial in the monsoon to flush out toxins and regulate body temperature amid the humidity.</p>
<p>Despite the challenges, monsoon brings joy. By taking the right steps to manage humidity issues, one can enjoy the season without compromising on comfort.&nbsp;</p>
