Punjab has witnessed excess rainfall this month and is still continuing to receive heavy rainfall across the state. Punjab is large excess by 94% until June 18.
These surplus rains are mainly due to a few good spells in the last four to five days. Normally Monsoon reaches over Punjab by the end of June and this year also we expect Monsoon to make an onset over the state on time or maybe one or two days before also.
