Heavy rain & thunderstorms likely for a week, IMD warns of flooding in Haryana
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a significant shift in the monsoon trough beginning Friday night, which will position it over north-central India, including Haryana. This realignment is expected to trigger active monsoon conditions across the state.
A cyclonic circulation currently persisting over Himachal Pradesh and Punjab is likely to intensify rainfall in the region. This system, combined with the northward-moving monsoon trough, will bring sustained moisture inflow and cloud development over Haryana, leading to frequent rain spells, particularly during the night and early morning hours.
On Friday, Gurgaon recorded a maximum temperature of 33.5 degrees Celsius, down by 2.4 degrees from the previous day. The minimum temperature held steady at 26.3 degrees Celsius. As monsoon activity picks up, the IMD has warned of potential localised flooding, waterlogging, and traffic disruptions in several districts.

Scattered heavy showers are expected in Mahendragarh, Rewari, Jhajjar, Gurgaon, Mewat, Palwal, Faridabad, Rohtak, Sonipat, Panipat, Jind, and Charkhi Dadri. Meanwhile, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar, and Bhiwani are likely to experience light to moderate rain with isolated thunderstorm activity.
"Several districts in Haryana could receive between 50 mm and 150 mm of rainfall in a single spell this week," said a senior IMD official.
"By the end of next week, much of the state is expected to shift from below-normal rainfall to excess levels."
Residents are advised to exercise caution, especially during the morning commute, due to slippery roads and reduced visibility. Waterlogging may affect low-lying areas, and commuters should plan accordingly. Farmers are urged to take protective measures for standing crops, as excess moisture can damage yield and encourage pest infestations.
The IMD also advised against travel to the Himalayan foothills, including Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where the risk of landslides and flash floods remains elevated due to persistent rainfall. Currently, the surface-level monsoon trough extends from Suratgarh through Sirsa, Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi, and onward to the Bay of Bengal. At higher altitudes, an upper-air cyclonic circulation over northern India is drawing in additional moisture, fueling the development of dense cloud cover.
This combination of systems is expected to maintain active monsoon conditions, particularly in northern and eastern Haryana, throughout the week.
Meanwhile, the drenching rain that Delhi has waited for stayed away another day, while humidity caused the "feel-like" temperature to soar to 46.8 degrees Celsius at 4pm.
A few areas recorded very light rain on Sunday. Najafgarh got moderate showers of 19mm. Delhi's air quality remained 'satisfactory' for the eleventh straight day.
A partially clouded sky brought the temperature down by a bit, but the sweaty stickiness that has sat on the city went nowhere.

Texas floods, weather forecast latest updates: Flash floods, heavy rains predicted on Monday by Met officials. Details here
Several more inches of rain were expected Sunday in areas of central Texas devastated by flooding over the weekend, forecasters said. Up to 4 inches could fall, with isolated areas potentially receiving up to 10 inches through Monday, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service's Storm Prediction Center placed a Level 2 out of 4 risk for flash floods over portions of north and central Texas and the Hill Country through Monday afternoon. Further rounds of heavy rain were expected at the beginning of the week before drier conditions develop. The flooding that began Friday was triggered by a combination of a moist tropical air mass -- the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry -- and a slow-moving storm system, which together fueled powerful thunderstorms. Flash Floods Expected in Texas? Jason Runyen, a meteorologist at the weather service's office for Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, said that while river levels across the region had receded, more rain could exacerbate flooding in the area. Flash flooding in the region killed more than 50 people over the weekend, with dozens more missing, NYT News Service reported. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo The deluge caused rivers in the region to rise to major flood stages. The Guadalupe River reached 29.45 feet -- its second highest level on record, surpassing the levels that led to the devastating flood of 1987 in the same area, according to the weather service. The actual river levels this weekend might have been even higher than recorded, however, according to Runyen, who said that the river gauge was "washed out" during the storm. Before the storms, the weather service issued a broad flood watch for parts of south-central Texas, including Kerr County, specifying the possibility of rainfall totals up to 3 inches and isolated amounts of 5 to 7 inches. But for some areas, the actual totals far exceeded those projections. Live Events Texas officials appeared to blame the weather service for forecasts on Wednesday that underestimated the amount of rain that was coming. Former weather service officials have said that the forecasts were as good as could be expected, given the way the storms escalated and the remarkable levels of rainfall. Some experts questioned whether staffing shortages at the weather service also made it harder for the forecasting agency to coordinate with local emergency managers as floodwaters rose. FAQs Q1. Will there be more rains in Texas? A1. There will be more rains predicted in Texas throughout Monday. Q2. What is condition of Guadalupe River? A2. Guadalupe River reached 29.45 feet -- its second highest level on record, surpassing the levels that led to the devastating flood of 1987 in the same area, according to the weather service.
