IMD predictions seem accurate this time. My plants are loving this weather! But worried about farmers in other states with heavy rainfall warnings. Hope their crops remain safe.

The weather department should provide more localized forecasts. "Delhi" is too broad - Lutyens area gets different rainfall than Narela or Dwarka. Need better granularity in predictions.

As someone new to Delhi, I'm amazed how quickly the city transforms with rain. The smell of wet earth (petrichor) is wonderful, but the traffic becomes terrible within minutes!

Good to see IMD giving detailed forecasts now. But why no warning about possible power cuts? Every time it rains in Delhi, our area loses electricity for hours. Authorities should be prepared.

Monsoon is such a blessing after the scorching summer! 🌧️ But worried about my relatives in Kerala - the prediction of very heavy rainfall sounds alarming. Hope everyone stays safe there.
