When working with IMD alert, a notification issued by the India Meteorological Department about imminent severe weather. Also known as weather warning, it signals that conditions like heavy rain, strong winds or extreme temperatures may pose a risk to life and property.
These alerts often involve specific phenomena such as cyclone, a large rotating storm system that brings torrential rain and destructive winds or flood, the overflow of water that can inundate homes, roads and farmland. A separate heatwave, prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures may also trigger an IMD alert, prompting health advisories and cooling‑center recommendations. In short, an IMD alert encompasses these sub‑events, requires timely public communication, and influences community preparedness actions.
