Western disturbance to drive monsoon rain in September, first signs visible
Western disturbance to drive monsoon rain in September, first signs visible. September has begun with the first signs of a changing weather pattern across northern India. A Western Disturbance is expected to emerge as a major driver of monsoon rainfall in the coming days. Rainfall in Punjab currently stands around 33 per cent below normal, while Haryana is facing a deficit of approximately 22 per cent. A Western Disturbance is set to interact with the monsoon axis over north India this week. The system could intensify rain across the hills and plains, offering some relief to deficit-hit Punjab and Haryana.
Why it matters. Understanding weather drivers like Western Disturbances is crucial for agricultural planning and disaster management during the monsoon season.
