Along with this, monsoon remains fully active in the states located in the foothills of the Himalayas—especially Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand—due to which heavy rains will continue in these hilly areas for the next few days. Heavy showers with thunderstorms are also expected in various parts of Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and Sikkim, due to which there is a possibility of local waterlogging and traffic impact.
