An active monsoon spell is expected to bring moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds across Meerut between July 14 and July 17, prompting residents to stay cautious.
Meerut: Residents of Meerut should brace for another wet spell as the southwest monsoon is expected to strengthen across western Uttar Pradesh between July 14 and July 17. Weather forecasts indicate moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds over the coming days.
The fresh monsoon activity is likely to bring frequent showers across the city, offering relief from the humid weather while increasing the possibility of waterlogging, traffic congestion, and temporary disruptions to daily routines.
Heavy Rain Could Affect Commuters
Continuous rainfall may slow traffic movement on major roads, while low-lying areas could witness temporary water accumulation after intense showers. Residents are advised to plan their travel carefully and avoid unnecessary journeys during periods of heavy rain.
Drivers should exercise caution as slippery roads and reduced visibility may create hazardous driving conditions.
