Orange to yellow, IMD alerts raining this week in Haryana
These alerts come as the region braces for an active monsoon phase, with intense showers expected in several districts over the coming days.
According to the latest IMD forecast, districts including Chandigarh, Panchkula, Ambala, and Yamunanagar are expected to witness moderate to heavy rainfall, with some areas likely to receive very heavy downpours. This could lead to temporary waterlogging in low-lying areas and could also impact traffic movement, the forecast further warned.
"Moreover, moderate rainfall is likely in Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, and Panipat, bringing much-needed relief from the prevailing humidity. This, too, poses a risk of localised flooding. In Gurgaon, along with Sonipat, Jind, Rewari, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Faridabad, Mewat, and Palwal, IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall at a few places," said an IMD official.

India vs England 4th Test Manchester Weather and Pitch Report: Will rain play spoilsport at Old Trafford
India vs England (IND vs ENG) 4th Test Cricket Stadium Pitch Report and Manchester Weather Forecast: The Old Trafford Test is a do-or-die fixture for India in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. With England eking out a win in the thrilling Lord's Test, India are trailing 1-2 and a defeat in the fourth Test could seal a loss for them in the five-match series. India have ended up with a slightly worrying list of injuries and knocks over the course of the series. Workload management for Jasprit Bumrah ahs always been a concern. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who played crucials roles in the second and third Tests, has been ruled out for the rest of the series. There was a question mark over Rishabh Pant's ability to keep wickets after he couldn't do so for much of the third Test due to an injury he sustained early on. There were doubts on Akash Deep as well. It would've hence been quite frustrating for India to not be able to train due to rain in Manchester and the weather could end up having a say in how this Test goes as well. The Indian team arrived in Manchester with the city drenched by persistent showers. It has been raining regularly for the past week or so and there is forecast for light showers for the majority of the five days. There is a high possibility of rain on the opening day of the Test on Wednesday with precipitation at 65% and the temperatures will be between 19 to 14 degrees Celsius. As per the prediction, we can expect rain delays during the match that will start at 11 AM local time. Probability of rain only increases on Day 2 with precipitation forecast to rise to 85% and temperatures are projected to be between 21 to 12 degrees Celsius. The forecast is much better for the third and fourth days and there is a 40% chance of precipitation on Day 5, which means a few rain interruptions but with space for action. Considering the damp weather, there would be moisture to exploit for the fast bowlers on day one. The overcast conditions would also be useful for the pacers. The Old Trafford pitch generally tends to remain dry with former England players like Mike Atherton saying that the wrist-spin of Kuldeep Yadav could come handy. However, the humid conditions could prompt Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill to weigh bringing back Shardul Thakur as a pace-bowling all-rounder replacement for Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Why Iran has been forced to declare a holiday and import water
Iran is boiling with 18 out of 31 provinces across the country including Tehran witnessing extreme temperatures. Much of the country has seen water and electricity supply disrupted. The development comes in the backdrop of water levels in the reservoirs dropping to their lowest levels in nearly 100 years read more A man crosses an intersection on a hot summer day in downtown Tehran, Iran. AP The Islamic Republic is witnessing temperatures soaring across the country. It is importing water to meet the citizens and has been forced to declare a holiday. But what happened? What do we know? And why is this happening? Let's take a closer look What happened? Eighteen out of 31 provinces across the country including Tehran are witnessing extreme temperatures. Temperatures in the southern and northern part of the country have exceeded 50 degrees Celsius. The city of Shabankareh over the weekend recorded a temperature of 52.8 degrees Celsius. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD This could be the hottest temperature of the year. Meanwhile, the town of Abadan, which is on Iran's southwestern border, saw a temperature of 51.6 degrees Celsius. Ahwaz, which is near Abadan, saw a temperature of 50.3 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, Tehran for the first time this year saw a temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius. Government offices in nearly a dozen provinces including the capital have been urged to conserve water. The heatwave, which began last Friday, is slated to slowly dissipate starting Thursday. Much of the country has seen water and electricity supply disrupted. The development comes in the backdrop of water levels in the reservoirs dropping to their lowest levels in nearly 100 years. Tehran's Provincial Water Supply Company has said that the water levels in reservoirs are at their lowest level in nearly a century. The firm urged residents to cut their water use by 20 per cent. According to a newspaper, Tehran on Sunday saw 'water outages lasting between 12 and 18 hours' in some areas. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Iran is negotiating with several countries including Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to import water. AFP Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani took to X to announce that a holiday has been declared on Wednesday in Tehran province. 'In light of the continued extreme heat and the necessity of conserving water and electricity, Wednesday … has been declared a holiday in Tehran province,' she wrote. Mohajerani urged Iranians to have a 'rest, a short trip, or being with family, of course, while observing safety guidelines and conserving energy'. Iran's Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi on Sunday apologised for the water shortages. Aliabadi last week said Iran is negotiating with several countries including Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to import water. Meanwhile, citizens are suffering. 'I feel the skin is going to burn. [My] shirt gets wet so quickly and I prefer to take shower twice a day at this age amidst severe heat. Thank God, there is no water crisis where I live', one resident of Tehran, who is his 50s, told The Guardian. 'I have heard from people that cutting water supply has resulted in water outages lasting at least 12 hours and more', he added. 'It feels more than 45 degrees Celsius. It is so hot'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We have nine-hour load-shedding daily as the temperature has soared across Iran including my home town,' a man living in Mashhad added. 'The water crisis is one of the biggest issues. Our dams are becoming dry and water reservoirs are depleting so fast.' Why is this happening? Iran has been facing drought-like conditions for the past five years. This, combined with record-low rainfall, has left its dams at the lowest levels in decades. The World Resources Institute ranks Iran at number 14 in the world when it comes to baseline water stress. Experts think a potential 'day zero', when Iran completely runs out of water, could come sooner rather than later. Experts say climate change is making water scarcity worse. Iran has long since battled issues with water and electricity. They also point the finger at authorities, who they are mismanaging and overexploiting resources. This is particularly true of Iran's capital Tehran where groundwater levels have depleted by 12 metres over the past two decades. Tehran has lost an estimated 25 per cent of its water due to mismanagement. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Things are so dire that the is even said to be mulling whether to shift the capital to Makhran region in the country's south. Tehran has lost an estimated 25 per cent of its water due to mismanagement. AP Iran's leaders are also worried. 'The water crisis is more serious than what is being talked about,' President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday. Pezeshkian has called for a joint task force comprising government experts and academics to be established to examine the issue. Pezeshkian said Iran will 'face a situation in the future for which no solution can be found' if nothing is done. 'Measures such as transferring water from other places to Tehran will not solve the problem fundamentally,' he added. 'In the water sector, beyond management and planning, we also need to address excessive consumption.' With inputs from agencies

Manchester weather forecast: Rain could spoil Shubman Gill-led India's party at Old Trafford
Will rain impact the fourth India-England Test in Manchester? That looks almost certain, with the current weather forecast predicting heavy rainfall on a couple of days during the match. read more There are high chances of rain spoiling a few many overs during India vs England 4th Test at Manchester. Image: AP The fourth Test between India and England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground from 23 July faces a massive rain threat as there are high chances of the play on the first two days being impacted by showers. This is not good news for Shubman Gill-led India as they are currently 2-1 behind in the five-match Test series. The overcast conditions could help the seamers and Manchester ground has often been found to be useful for fast bowlers, despite slowing down a bit in the near past. This could influence India into picking Shardul Thakur as injured Nitish Kumar Reddy's replacement in the playing XI, while Haryana fast bowler Anshul Kamboj is also expected to make his debut in place of Akash Deep, who struggled with a back issue during the third Test at Lord's. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rain, however, could spoil India's party and the fresh combinations as 'An afternoon shower or two' is predicted on Day 1 (23 July, Wednesday) and 'A couple of showers' are predicted for Day 2 (24 July, Thursday), according to AccuWeather. In fact, it has been raining on the eve of the match in Manchester on Tuesday. Manchester Weather Forecast There's a high possibility of rain on the opening day when the probability of precipitation stands at 65% and the temperatures will be between 19 to 14 degrees Celsius. This also means Manchester will be much cooler than London, where the temperature constantly touched 30 degrees Celsius during the Lord's Test. Also, as per the prediction, we can expect rain delays during the match that will start at 11 AM local time. The probability of precipitation rises to 85% on the scheduled Day 2 (24 July, Thursday) and the temperatures will be between 21 to 12 degrees Celsius. Day 3 (25 July, Friday) and Day 4 (26 July, Saturday) promise to be much brighter with chances of rain pegged at only 7 and 10% respectively. The probability of precipitation on Day 5 (27 July, Sunday) is 40%, which means we may see a few rain interruptions but nothing serious enough to witness a washout. If a large number of overs are lost in the Test match due to rain, then a draw would be the most likely outcome and that's something Gill and India would not want to have.
