**Headline: Monsoon Fury to Return: IMD Issues Heavy Rain Alert for Multiple States**

**New Delhi:** After a brief respite in some regions, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall alert for a large swathe of the country for the period of July 25th to 31st. While the initial weeks of the monsoon brought relief from water scarcity and scorching heat, some states experienced devastating floods.

Now, the IMD is warning of another spell of intense rainfall across several regions. While Delhi is likely to experience only light, scattered showers with gusty winds, Rajasthan, after a period of dry heat, is bracing for a potential monsoon revival with expected heavy rainfall in several areas between July 27th and 31st.

The western states of Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Konkan, and Saurashtra are predicted to experience continuous heavy rainfall throughout the next seven days. Furthermore, a red alert has been issued for sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Vidarbha, with forecasts of torrential downpours and strong winds from July 25th-28th and again on July 30th-31st.

Southern India is also set to receive significant rainfall, with Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, Rayalaseema, Telangana, and Lakshadweep expecting heavy rainfall from July 25th-29th.

The northern regions, including Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Haryana, are warned of heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds over the next week. The northeastern states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are also expected to receive heavy rainfall during this period.

The IMD has also issued warnings for scattered, light rainfall across northwest, south, east, west, northeast, and central India. The department cautions residents to be aware of the possibility of thunderstorms and lightning strikes in many areas over the next seven days. Authorities are advising citizens to take necessary precautions and stay updated with the latest weather forecasts.
