The state of Punjab has been observing on and off good rains from the past few days, so it is vindicated why the region is rain surplus by 20%. On the other hand, Haryana has been getting patchy rains, consequently rain deficit by 17%. Till now, Haryana has not seen fairly widespread showers, generally that typical Monsoon rains.

Since last many days the axis of Monsoon trough is running south of its normal position. This is the foremost reason for scanty rainfall activity over the state of Haryana.
On the other hand, continual weather systems over the Western Himalayas, though frail in nature has given moderate rains along the foothills as well as over the northern parts of Punjab.
During the course of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday, Karnal reported heavy rains to the tune of 55 mm, Kurukshetra 39 mm, Chandigarh 12 mm, Narnaul 8 mm, Patiala 8 mm and Ludhiana saw 2 mm of light spells.
Now, we expect the axis of monsoon trough to shift towards the north. In view of this, progressively the rainfall activity would increase over Punjab and Haryana between July 21 and 26. Thus, this may be an episode of good spell for both the states.
During this phase, places such as Chandigarh, Ambala, Karnal, Rohtak, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala may observe the rain activity.
Moreover, day and night temperatures are projected to decrease, leading to comfortable weather conditions.
From the agricultural perspective, these rains would be advantageous for the farmers of Punjab and Haryana.
