Good Rainfall activities coming up to Northwest India, Rainfall Scarcity likely to reduce

July 28,2024 -

Northwest India has been under the grip of a weak monsoon this year from the start. Between June 1 to July 25 the region has seen a rainfall deficit of -16%. States like Haryana & Punjab is on the top on it with 44% & 40% deficit respectively. The capital of both Chandigarh facing large deficiency of -57%. States of Western Himalaya such as Jammu & Kashmir & Himachal Pradesh also facing similar conditions with rainfall deficiency of -36% & -38%. Although the conditions of Capital Delhi is normal with just -2% deficiency with an improvement in the conditions, rest of the Northwest India has been facing a serious condition. Ladakh is only the exceptional state among all with surplus of rain of 42% then normal, but its common as the region is the driest place of the country during monsoon. Due to this the plains of Northwest India, such as Western Rajasthan facing temperature more than 40°C in monsoon. The reason for this is the southward location of the monsoonal axis, particularly over Rajasthan & no formation of a low pressure area over Arabian Sea & adjoining Northwest India. However there's sign of the revival of monsoon as already isolated heavy rainfall occurred yesterday at Haryana in places like Kaul, Pehowa. Today along with Haryana, foothills of Himachal Pradesh that's adjoining to Haryana expected to see isolated heavy rainfall activities too. In the coming days entire Northwest India will see fairly widespread rainfall activities particularly in the foothills where isolated heavy rainfall activities could also occur. This will reduce both the humid & hot weather & deficiency of the rainfall as above normal rainfall expected on the region in the first half of August due to active monsoon surge.
