Most parts of northwestern plains, including Punjab and Haryana, have not seen much rains since the arrival of Southwest Monsoon over the region. Rains have mainly remained scanty almost the entire season. However, rains over both the states have increased in the last two to three days, with the spread being moreover Punjab.
This is the reason that Punjab is although rain surplus by a 21%, rains over Haryana are 16% lesser than normal rains.
On the last day also, the intensity and spread of rains over Punjab were more than the rains over Haryana. Within the span of 24 hours, from 08:30 am on Tuesday, Pathankot recorded 36 mm of rains, Gurugram 29 mm, Patiala 29 mm, Karnal 15 mm, Ludhiana 14 mm, Bathinda 9 mm, Anandpur Sahib 8 mm, Chandigarh 5.6 mm, Sirsa 5 mm and Jalandhar recorded 3 mm of rains.

As per Skymet Weather, these rains can be attributed to the passage of Western Disturbance traveling through Jammu & Kashmir. In addition to this, the easterly flow of winds is also increasing moisture content over the region.

As of now, the intensity of rains is likely to increase over parts of North Punjab over stations like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, and Ludhiana. These rains would prove to be constructive in pushing up the rainfall surplus further.
Meanwhile, rains over Haryana would continue to remain patchy and may occur over cities like Ambala, Karnal, Hisar. However, due to the intensity being light and patchy, this would not do many wonders in improving the rainfall deficiency.
