New Delhi, April 27 (Udaipur Kiran) – The pre-monsoon season is set to intensify weather activity across the country, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a heavy rain alert for multiple states on April 28, 29, and 30.
Following the arrival of the pre-monsoon phase, noticeable changes in weather conditions have been observed, leading to a fresh spell of rainfall in several regions. Experts had earlier indicated the possibility of strong rainfall in 2026 after a favourable monsoon season in 2025.

Weather conditions are expected to shift across Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, West Bengal, Sikkim, Odisha, and Jharkhand.
