The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for heavy rainfall in several states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Additionally, moderate rain and thunderstorms are expected in the Delhi-NCR region. While the rains provide relief from summer heat, they also pose health risks such as infections and colds. To mitigate these risks, experts recommend several precautions. First, individuals should change out of wet clothes immediately to prevent body temperature drops and bacterial growth. Thoroughly drying hair and taking a warm shower can also help eliminate dirt and germs. Drinking warm beverages, like tea or soup, aids in comfort and hydration.
