Parts of Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, south interior Karnataka, Kerala and Mahe and Lakshadweep are likely to get heavy-to-very heavy rainfall till Thursday, the weather bureau said.
In northwest India, heavy rainfall is likely over parts of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and west Rajasthan till Sunday, over east Rajasthan and Haryana till Friday, and over Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir from Wednesday to Friday. Punjab is likely to get heavy rains on Wednesday.

According to the bureau, there is a risk of low-to-moderate flash floods over neighbourhoods of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, east Rajasthan, west Madhya Pradesh, coastal Karnataka, Kerala and Mahe and south interior Karnataka in the next 24 hours.
