Extreme Weather Live: India & Global Daily Tracker

We track daily weather updates across India and the world. Our live blog covers heatwaves, floods, cyclones, heavy rain, storms, and other extreme weather events. We bring you reports from cities, towns, and villages to show how weather is affecting daily life.

Extreme weather is no longer rare. Many parts of India now face intense heat, sudden rainfall, flash floods, storm or strong winds with little warning. These events disrupt transport, damage crops, close schools, and put lives at risk. We monitor these developments and provide timely, clear updates you can trust.

When a heatwave hits, we report temperature levels, health risks, and government responses. During floods, we track water levels, rescue work, and damage. We cover storm warnings and power cuts, and share safety tips from weather officials.

Our team uses real-time data, satellite maps, and reports from the ground. We speak with people facing the weather crisis—farmers, shopkeepers, families—so you hear real voices and not just numbers. If a cyclone is expected, we post live updates about its path, speed, and impact.

We also look at long-term changes. Are heatwaves getting worse? Is rainfall less predictable? What do experts say about future risks?

You can follow this blog for daily posts, real-time alerts, and useful information. Whether you live in a city or a rural area, this blog helps you stay prepared and aware.

On the evening of May 29, Delhi and surrounding areas prepared for another round of storms. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted thunderstorms with rain on Thursday and Friday.

Red Alert in Kerala: Heavy Rains Cause Damage, Displacements
The IMD has issued a red alert for eight Kerala districts—Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod—after early monsoon rains caused widespread damage. For Friday, red alerts remain in Idukki, Kannur, and Kasaragod, while the other 11 districts are under orange alert. Red means over 20 cm rain in 24 hours. A severe low pressure over the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring more heavy rain. Thunderstorms, wind speeds of 40–60 kmph, and rising water levels in key rivers like Manimala, Achankovil, Meenachil, Korapuzha, and Kabani have raised flood concerns. The monsoon, which began on May 24, uprooted trees, damaged homes, destroyed crops, and caused power outages. Relief camps are housing displaced families, especially in Wayanad.
