Heavy rains affected several parts of India on Sunday, claiming lives and causing disruptions.

Heavy rains affected several parts of India on Sunday, disrupting normal life and causing multiple fatalities. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra experienced severe downpours, leading to waterlogging and traffic impediments. Various urban regions are bracing for continued heavy rainfall.

In Gujarat, a cyclonic circulation over the northeast Arabian Sea contributed to the torrential rains, making roads and underpasses in cities like Surat and Ahmedabad nearly impassable. Palsana Taluka recorded the highest rainfall in the state at 153 mm in ten hours. The IMD predicts this wet spell will persist for four more days.

Meanwhile, Rajasthan and Delhi faced similar situations. Churu recorded the highest rainfall in Rajasthan, while Delhi saw its heaviest June rainfall since 1936. Authorities across affected regions are ramping up manpower and equipment to handle further downpours and their aftermath.
