India Strengthens Weather Monitoring Systems for Risk-Prone Areas

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has made significant advancements in monitoring systems and forecasting technologies to mitigate the impact of severe weather events, such as heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and snowfall. The IMD has expanded its Doppler Weather Radar network and Automatic Weather Stations across the country, with a particular focus on hilly regions. New initiatives, like 'Mission Mausam,' aim to further enhance the country's observational and monitoring capabilities to make India more resilient to climate challenges. These efforts support real-time monitoring, early warnings, and effective forecasting, aiding disaster management in vulnerable zones, including states like Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand.
