For Ambala, the IMD has forecasted a 'Generally cloudy sky with a few spells of rain or thundershowers.' Meanwhile, Karnal witnessed light rainfall on Wednesday morning, with a similar forecast.

The IMD has issued forecasts for both areas indicating 'Partly cloudy sky with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers' from September 4-6, transitioning to a 'Partly cloudy sky with the possibility of rain or Thunderstorm' by September 7, and evolving into 'Generally cloudy sky with the possibility of rain or Thunderstorm' by September 8.

Significantly, the IMD has declared red alert warnings for multiple districts across Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, northern Punjab, northern Haryana, eastern Rajasthan, southwest Uttar Pradesh, northwest & eastern Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha in anticipation of moderate to intense spells of rain over the next three hours.
