The India Meteorological Department (IMD) employs a color-coded alert system to communicate the severity of weather conditions to the public. The four codes are green, yellow, orange, and red, each indicating different levels of weather severity. A green alert signifies normal weather with little to no rainfall, allowing people to carry on with their daily activities. A yellow alert warns of potential moderate rainfall that could disrupt daily life, suggesting individuals carry umbrellas when traveling. An orange alert indicates severe weather is expected, with heavy rainfall that may lead to flooding and power disruptions, urging people to prepare accordingly. The most serious alert, a red alert, is issued for extreme weather conditions, such as very heavy rainfall exceeding 204.5 mm in a 24-hour period, posing significant threats to life and property. During a red alert, individuals are advised to prioritize safety and avoid unnecessary travel.
