Rains have returned to North India after quite a hot and humid week for the plains of North India. However, the hills have been witnessing on and off rains for more than a week now.
As of now, there is a low pressure area hovering over South Pakistan and adjoining Southwest Rajasthan region. We can also see an upper air cyclonic circulation lying at mid tropospheric levels. The Western Disturbance is also moving across Jammu and Kashmir region.
