July 2025 – What Happened This Month?

July was a busy month on PC Literacy Info. We covered everything from heavy monsoon rain in Delhi to big cricket wins and even a surprising trade ruling. If you want a quick snapshot of the most talked‑about stories, you’re in the right place.

Weather Alerts Across India

Monsoon season hit hard in July. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) kept Delhi‑NCR on an orange rain alert through the end of the month. Heavy showers on July 22‑23 flooded key roads, slowed traffic and forced commuters to plan extra time. Even after the rain, the air quality improved for 11 straight days, giving a brief breather.

In the east, Kolkata struggled with waterlogging as a low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal dumped steady rain. Streets turned into mini rivers and traffic snarls became the norm. Local civic teams worked around the clock to clear drains, but the high tide made it tough.

If you were in Uttar Pradesh, you probably saw orange alerts in 15 districts while Lucknow stayed on a yellow warning. The state recorded over 300 mm of rain in August – more than half above normal – and the monsoon is expected to linger into early September.

Sports & Entertainment Highlights

Cricket fans had a lot to cheer about. Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman was ruled out of the Champions Trophy after an injury, but the team quickly patched the gap with Imam‑ul‑Haq. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka crushed Australia by 174 runs in the second ODI – a result that will be remembered for years.

The IPL opener also drew attention. KKR vs RCB at Eden Gardens played under an IMD orange alert, with a chance of thundersqualls and hail. While the rain probability was low, the threat was enough to keep fans on edge.

On the entertainment side, the Tamil film “Bad Girl” sparked a heated debate after its teaser suggested a controversial portrayal of a Brahmin girl. Director Mohan G publicly called out producers Anurag Kashyap and Vetri Maaran, while actor Shanthi Priya defended the film as a conversation starter. The movie will premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in January 2025.

Bigg Boss 19 made a splash in August, with Salman Khan returning as host and newcomers like Ashnoor Kaur aiming for the win. The show’s mix of drama and fresh talent kept viewers glued to their screens.

Finance news wasn’t quiet either. A federal appeals court struck down most of Trump’s tariffs, leaving a few duties intact but shaking trade talks with India. In the Indian market, Sensex and Nifty surged after retail inflation fell to an eight‑year low of 1.55%, giving investors a morale boost.
