The month of June was not a good one for Uttarakhand in terms of rainfall. However, from the past few days, intermittent rain and thundershowers are being witnessed in Uttarakhand with few moderate to heavy spells. In the past 24 hours, Pantnagar has recorded 36 mm of rain with 39 mm being observed in Mukteshwar.
From July 1 till date, Uttarakhand has recorded 133.2 mm of rains against the normal of 264.3 mm. According to our meteorologists, rainfall activity is going to increase gradually in Uttarakhand in the next 48 hours. A Trough is currently running from Punjab up to Northeast India across Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, which will Shif towards the foothills and increase activity in the region.
The shift in the movement of the Trough line will act as a catalyst and would give rains over the state until July 15 or July 16.
The southern districts of the state will be mainly affected with heavy to very heavy rains. We would like to extend caution for the residents of Dehradun, Haridwar, Tehri, Almora, Nainital, Udhamsingh Nagar, and Champawat against mudslides, landslides and cloud burst.
On the contrary, rain in Uttarkashi, Gangotri, Badrinath and Chamoli will be subdued with only a few good spells in pockets.
Weather Alert For Uttarakhand:
Moderate to heavy rain, thundershower and lightning strike would hit Almora, Bageshwar, Chamoli, Champawat, Dehradun, Garhwal, Hardwar, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag, Tehri Garhwal, Udham Singh Nagar, and Uttarkashi during the next 24 hours.
