President Droupadi Murmu’s proposed visit to the Atal Tunnel was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a five-day weather alert for West Bengal and northeastern states. North India is expected to experience rain, thunderstorms, and mountain snowfall.
Current weather alerts:
- Heat wave warning for Rajasthan and Vidarbha
- Heavy showers expected in South India
- Central and East India under weather watch
Extreme weather events are becoming more intense as climate changes. Traditional climate models struggle with forecasting record-breaking conditions. AI models have been found to underestimate the frequency and intensity of these extreme events.
The IMD continues to monitor the situation closely. Official statements regarding the cancellation of President Murmu’s visit are pending.
