Southwest Monsoon: rain activities are being seen in many states of the country. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has forecast that due to anti-cyclonic flow over North-West India, the weather is likely to remain dry with the possibility of less rain over West Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi during the next 5 days.

At the same time, conditions may become favorable for withdrawal of Southwest Monsoon from some parts of Northwest India during 3 days. According to the Meteorological Department, the time has come for the departure of monsoon from the capital Delhi. 

Monsoon returns after heavy rain

The Meteorological Department said on Monday that the withdrawal of monsoon will start in the next two days after heavy rains in the last phase of four months of rainfall. The department said that conditions are becoming favorable for withdrawal of monsoon from different parts of the northwest. Monsoon rains are very important for India as a large part of the country's agricultural land is still dependent on monsoon rains for irrigation. The withdrawal of monsoon usually starts in the middle of September from the western state of Rajasthan. 

7 percent more rainfall this year

According to the Meteorological Department, India has received 7 percent more rainfall this year, but eight states including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar have received less rain, which may reduce agricultural production in this Kharif season. Along with this, less rainfall has also been recorded in Jharkhand, Delhi, Punjab, Tripura, Mizoram and Manipur. India received 872.7 mm of rain between June 1 and September 19, which is 7 per cent more than the normal rainfall of 817.2 mm for the period. According to the Meteorological Department, due to the cyclonic circulation at the lower troposphere level over Northwest India, the weather will remain dry over West Rajasthan, Punjab and adjoining areas of Haryana during the next five days. 

Monsoon will be completely gone on 30 September

According to the Meteorological Department, the departure of monsoon will start from West Rajasthan, South Haryana and Punjab from September 21. Its usual date was 17-18 September. It will depart from Delhi NCR around 27-28 September. With this, the monsoon will depart from the whole of North India by 30 September. Right now the direction of the wind is blowing north-east, in which there is also warmth and moisture.
