The reason for these moderate spells as per Skymet Weather can be attributed to the axis of Monsoon trough which is running across Punjab and Haryana. It was due to this weather system that both the states had recorded moderate to heavy showers.
Skymet Weather further reiterates that as of now, scattered light to moderate rains is likely to continue in parts of these states until September 2.

Thereafter, the intensity of rains is expected to reduce over both the states but isolated light spells will keep on drenching several districts of the state such as Amritsar, Chandigarh, Ambala, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Karnal, Patiala, and Hisar.
At present both the states of Punjab and Haryana are rain deficient by 19% and 31% respectively. Though the prediction of these rains over the states will not impact much and will not do many wonders in bringing down the prevailing rainfall deficiency.
