However, these spells will be of short duration and will be patchy in nature, not cover a larger area. But the weather will remain pleasant and occasionally cloudy resulting in relief from the ongoing warm and humid weather conditions.
Moreover, a fresh Western Disturbance is also approaching Jammu & Kashmir and thus the rain intensity over parts of Punjab and Haryana may intensify, covering more regions by July 19. Districts like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, Ambala, Hisar, Sonepat will receive good rains.
Thereafter, the trough will move over the northern plains and along with the Western Disturbance, will contribute in the rains. The intensity and spread of rain will increase further over Punjab and Haryana which will continue for 2 days.
In general, the northwest plains including Punjab and Haryana receives occasional rains during the Monsoon season in contrast with continuous spells in most of central India.
