The IMD launched a dedicated webpage on Thursday to provide weather-related information for Ayodhya and nearby areas.
The webpage contains information on all weather parameters, including temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind patterns in major languages spoken worldwide, such as Hindi, English, Urdu, Chinese, French, and Spanish.
Weather information for Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Lucknow, and New Delhi, among other important places, is available on the webpage. A weather bulletin, containing a seven-day forecast and sunrise and sunset timings, is also available to users in both Hindi and English.
