The monsoon trough at mean sea level currently runs across Sri Ganganagar, Rohtak, Shahjahanpur, Gorakhpur, and into the northeast Bay of Bengal," an IMD official said. "Additionally, an upper air cyclonic circulation over Haryana and its neighbourhood, extending up to 3.1km above mean sea level, continues to feed moisture into the region. A western disturbance is also present at higher altitudes (around 5.8km), aligned along 72°E north of latitude 32°N," the official added. "These overlapping systems are likely to trigger recurrent spells of rain, especially in southern and eastern Haryana," an official with IMD Chandigarh said. "Urban areas like Gurgaon could see waterlogging and localised flooding if the showers intensify," they added.
