On Tuesday(today), July 16, the india Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted significant rainfall and thunderstorms in several areas of Maharashtra, kerala, and Konkan Goa. Because of the severe rain, the weather service also issued a red notice for today in several states. For the remainder of the week, it is also expected that Delhi-NCR may have some light rain. The monsoon has begun to shift downward, according to the weather agency, and over 20 cm of rain is predicted to lash coastal areas of karnataka, kerala, Maharashtra, and Konkan goa in the next few days.

For Tuesday, the IMD has issued an orange alert for Mumbai, thane, Palghar, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Pune, Satar, and Kolhapur in Maharashtra, and a red alert for Raigad. The weather service in kerala issued an orange notice for the districts of Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Kozhikode, and Wayanad, and a red alert for the districts of Malappuram, Kannur, and Kasaragod.

Due to rising water levels, the Kamwari River in Maharashtra's Bhiwandi region of Thane spilled, allowing water to seep into the homes of individuals who lived along the coast. The Sultania Gali neighborhood saw knee-deep water fill the villages, forcing dozens of people to flee their houses.

On July 16, the MeT department additionally released a red alert for Karnataka's coastal and south interior regions. Monday's intense rains left many parts of the villages of Araga, Chendia, Iduru, and Toduru totally underwater. Thunderstorms in the Kodagu area left trees and electric lines uprooted. "As of today, the monsoon is moving downward. For the upcoming days, kerala, Konkan goa, and coastal karnataka are under a red alert. It can be raining more than 20 centimeters there. In the upcoming days, there will be little rain in Delhi-NCR. Dr. naresh Kumar, an IMD scientist, informed ANI that there is no alert for Delhi. The weather forecast indicates that mild to moderate rainfall will persist in certain areas of delhi NCR for the next six days. The sporadic downpour is probably going to make commuters' lives more difficult and create traffic jams. Over the past few days, torrential rains have affected many regions in india, resulting in flooding and the loss of life and property.
