Monsoon rains have remained confined to East and Northeast India since last one week. Particularly, northwestern plains have remained dry, leading to warm weather conditions.
Now, the good news is that rains are all set to make a comeback soon, but the bad news is that this would be last spell of this Monsoon season.
According to Skymet Weather, a fresh Western Disturbance would be approaching Western Himalayas around September 22. Simultaneously, the low pressure area brewing in North Bay of Bengal would also reach central parts of the country, though as a weakened system. A trough would form North Madhya Pradesh to Uttarakhand.
Both the weather systems would be interacting with each other, giving widespread rain and thundershowers over hills as well as the plains of Northwest India between September 23-26. Many parts of Haryana, Punjab, Delhi-NCR, West Uttar Pradesh, North Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas of East Rajasthan would see fairly widespread heavy rains.
Let us have a look at state-wise weather conditions expected to commence by weekend. Though activity would be light initially but would pick up pace gradually by September 24.
Punjab: Eastern and northern districts of Punjab such as Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Rupnagar, Nawanshahar, Chandigarh, Fatehgarh Sahib, Ludhiana, Patiala, Sangrur, Barnala and Kapurthala are likely to see heavy to very heavy rain and thundershowers between September 24-26. However, intensity of rain would be light to moderate over western districts. These rains would accompanied with strong winds between 40-60 Kmph at few places.
Haryana: Many districts of Haryana would see heavy to very heavy rain and thundershowers between September 24-27.

Uttar Pradesh: Several districts of west and central Uttar Pradesh can get heavy to very heavy rain and thundershowers between September 24-26. One or two places may get extremely heavy spells of rains as well. Intensity of rains would be more over northwest Uttar Pradesh such as Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Moradabad, Bareilly, Badaun, Bulandshahar, Meerut, Aligarh and Kasganj. Capital city of Lucknow would also see some good showers, though not very heavy.
