As per Skymet Weather, as of now also, moderate rains with few heavy spells are likely to continue for another 24 hours as the convergence of easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal is still over the Western Himalayan region.
Although the axis of Monsoon trough which was running close to the foothills has shifted south and at present is passing through North Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh. In addition to this, a well-marked low-pressure area has also developed over the western parts of the country which will travel towards Central India.
