The states of Punjab and Haryana have been receiving good amounts of rain for the last 3-4 days. This has helped Punjab to achieve a rain surplus of 10%. In the last 24 hours as well there was some really good rain observed in both the states.
According to the rainfall data available with Skymet, Bhatinda recorded a whopping 140 mm of rain in the last 24 hours from 8.30 am on Tuesday, which is more than the monthly average of 131 mm. During the same period, Ferozepur too witnessed 28 mm of moderate rain.
Neighbouring Haryana was also a witness to some pounding rains. In the last 24 hours, Sirsa and Hisar observed 65 mm and 64 mm of rain, respectively.
Rainfall activity in Punjab and Haryana is presently being governed by two weather activities. One is a cyclonic circulation stationed over Punjab and its adjoining areas, while a Trough is running from Rajasthan across Punjab, West Uttar Pradesh up to Northeast India.
Both these systems will continue to impact the region and give moderate amounts of rain in Punjab and Haryana for the next 48 hours. Places along the foothills like Pathankot, Hoshiarpur and Panchkula could receive heavy rains during this period.
Meanwhile, the Northern Limit of Monsoon has advanced further and covered entire Punjab and Haryana.
