Southwest monsoon covers the entire country early, but reaches Delhi late
The southwest monsoon covered the entire country on Sunday (June 29), significantly ahead of its normal schedule of July 8. However, in Delhi, its arrival was slightly delayed from the usual onset date of June 27. Last year, the monsoon reached the national capital on June 28, while in 2022 it arrived earlier, on June 25. In recent days, Delhi has witnessed a steady influx of moisture-laden southeasterly winds, which enhanced cloud cover and brought scattered to fairly widespread rainfall across the region. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there have been only a few instances since 1960 when the monsoon has advanced over both Delhi and the entire country on the same day. One such occurrence was on July 2, 1967. Most such instances have taken place in July – in 1968, 1987, 1990, 2003, and 2011. Only once before, in 2013, did the monsoon cover Delhi and the entire country simultaneously in the month of June – on the 16th. Earlier, IMD officials had attributed the delayed arrival over Delhi, despite persistent cloud cover, to an anticyclonic circulation that was temporarily obstructing the monsoon's advance. They noted that the system would weaken soon, allowing the monsoon to progress. Till Saturday, the Northern Limit of Monsoon passed through Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jhunjhunu, Bharatpur, Rampur, Sonipat, and Anup Nagar, as per the IMD. The Met office has issued a yellow alert for Monday, forecasting light to moderate rain or thunderstorms accompanied by lightning in Delhi and surrounding areas. No alerts have been issued for the subsequent days, but rainfall is still expected. Daytime temperatures are likely to fall and remain between 26 and 31 degree Celsius through the week. In its extended range forecast valid up to July 10, the IMD has predicted above-normal rainfall in Delhi. The normal rainfall for the month is 209.7 mm. Between July 3 and 10, the department stated, 'The monsoon trough is likely to be active and near its normal position during most days of the week. As a result, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy falls is likely over many parts of northwest India.'

Monsoon likely to arrive in delhi within two days with rain forecast and air quality improving
New Delhi: The monsoon is likely to reach Delhi within the next two days, with India Meteorological Department forecasting light to moderate rain and improved weather conditions. The department has issued a yellow alert for the national capital and surrounding areas till Tuesday, warning of rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds of up to 50 kmph. According to IMD, heavy rain is expected over large parts of north and northwest India over the next three days as the southwest monsoon advances further into the region, supported by favourable moisture conditions. The monsoon is likely to arrive in Delhi by June 24. IMD has predicted a normal monsoon for the season. "Southwest monsoon has further advanced over most parts of Himachal Pradesh, the entire Ladakh and Kashmir region, most parts of Jammu, and parts of Punjab," said RK Jenamani, senior weather scientist at IMD. "The Northern Limit of Monsoon currently passes through Jaipur, Agra, Rampur, Dehradun, Shimla, Pathankot and Jammu. Conditions remain favourable for its advancement over the remaining parts of the North Arabian Sea, more areas of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh during the next two days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo " Despite the forecast of rain from Sunday onward, no significant weather activity was recorded in the capital till late evening. However, the city's air quality continued to improve. Sunday marked the fifth consecutive day of satisfactory air quality, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) standing at 92 (on a 0–500 scale) at 4 pm. The improvement was aided by sporadic rain and surface winds, which helped disperse pollutants. Delhi govt, in a statement, said Punjabi Bagh recorded the lowest AQI among all major city locations, logging a reading of just 62. Officials attributed the cleaner air to consistent enforcement action and on-ground pollution control measures. "In the past 24 hours, 211 old or end-of-life vehicles — petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years — were impounded," the statement said. "Additionally, 11,157 pollution challans were issued across the city." Environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, "Our strict action on old vehicles and field-level monitoring is producing measurable results. From citywide improvements to local successes like Punjabi Bagh, Delhi is steadily moving towards a cleaner air reality." On the weather front, Delhi experienced a partly cloudy sky on Sunday, with a slight drop in daytime temperatures. The Safdarjung base station recorded a maximum temperature of 36.2°C, two degrees below the normal for this time of year, compared to 37.3°C a day earlier. The minimum temperature stood at 28.4°C, marginally higher than Saturday's 27.8°C but still within the seasonal average. Despite the slight dip in temperature, high humidity pushed the discomfort levels up. The heat index, or 'feels-like' temperature, touched 47.5°C. However, IMD expects the maximum temperature to ease further over the coming days, hovering between 33°C and 35°C on Monday, with a possibility of light showers by evening. MSID:: 122007851 413 |

Monsoon advances over most parts of Himachal Pradesh
Shimla: The Southwest Monsoon has advanced over most parts of Himachal Pradesh and reached Pathankot in Punjab on Sunday. The Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) now extends through Jaipur, Agra, Rampur, Dehradun, Shimla, Pathankot, and Jammu. Meteorological conditions are favourable for the monsoon to progress further into the remaining parts of the North Arabian Sea, additional areas of Rajasthan, and parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and the rest of Himachal Pradesh over the next two days. A trough is currently extending from north Punjab to north Bihar across south Haryana, accompanied by cyclonic circulation associated with a low-pressure area over the central parts of south Uttar Pradesh in the lower tropospheric levels. Due to the influence of these systems, isolated heavy rainfall is likely over Punjab and Haryana from June 22 to 26, and over Himachal Pradesh from June 22 to 28. Very heavy rainfall is expected in Himachal Pradesh during June 22 to 26, and in Haryana on June 25. Light to moderate rainfall at most or many places, along with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching speeds of 30 to 40 kmph, is likely across Northwest India during the period from June 22 to 26.
