(IMD) has forecast isolated light rainfall in parts of the northern districts of the state on Saturday.
An alert of thunderstorms, accompanied by lightning activity, has been issued by the IMD for all the districts on Sunday. Heavy rain alert has also been issued for Kishanganj and Araria.

The maximum temperature is expected to range between 34-36 degrees Celsius across the state for the next two days, whereas the minimum temperature is likely to range between 26-28 degrees Celsius.

Additionally, a team from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) at Gai Ghat, Patna City and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) at Didarganj has been deployed and sent to the areas concerned for relief and rescue operations as per necessity.

Heavy rain likely to lash Haryana next week as monsoon intensifies
Gurgaon: After seeing sporadic showers over the past couple of days, the city is likely to witness a surge in rainfall activity over the coming days, with heavy rainfall expected in parts of the state early next week. While only light rain is expected at isolated places during the next 24 hours, India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning of heavy rainfall between July 20 and 22 across northern, eastern and southern Haryana. The intensity of rain is expected to peak on Monday and Tuesday, bringing with it the possibility of localised flooding and disruption in low-lying areas.

Isolated places may receive heavy showers," said a senior IMD official. According to IMD, this is due to the presence of an active monsoon trough coupled with a depression over northwest and adjoining northeast Rajasthan. Moreover, a fresh western disturbance in the middle tropospheric levels is likely to enhance the intensity of rainfall across the region. In July so far, the city has seen abundant rainfall.
