From past 2-3 days, the northern region of India has been receiving moderate rains. However, instances of heavy showers were absent from the region.
The reason for these light to moderate spells can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation prevailing over northeast Rajasthan and adjoining west Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, a Monsoon trough is seen passing through Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh which are bringing in light rains over these areas.
Further, a depression is also seen over Jharkhand and West Bengal. Alongside, a Western Disturbance over North Pakistan also persists. Due to combined effect of these weather systems, scattered light to moderate rains are expected over Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand covering parts of Haryana as well.
Few showers are also likely to lash Delhi also. Good rains are expected over North Rajasthan, West Uttar Pradesh and southern parts of entire Uttar Pradesh. However, foothills of Uttar Pradesh may receive light showers.
Let’s have a look at the rainfall observed in most districts of the northern plains in last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday:
At present, Uttar Pradesh is witnessing two percent lesser rains than its normal along with Haryana which is observing a rain deficiency of 21 percent. During the similar time frame, the rain deficiency of Chandigarh stands at 41 percent and Punjab at 22 percent.
It can be claimed that Delhi is the only meteorological division in the northern region of the country where rainfall is 5 percent higher than normal. Moreover, the Monsoon trough is also expected to shift towards the northern plains. This can possibly curtail down the rainfall deficiency for these states to some extent in another 2-3 days.
