New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert on May 24 and 25 for the northern hills. "In the hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir we have kept an orange level warning because the convection is higher today." senior scientist RK Jenamani said.
An orange alert is issued when there is isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall consecutively for three days. Earlier, there has been snowfall in the higher regions like Dhauladhar and others.
Jenamani said the orange warning for Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana was later converted into a yellow warning after a decrement in the situation. Rains and strong winds lashed Delhi NCR on Monday morning, leading to a sharp fall in temperature.
