Monsoon Weakens in Punjab as Rainfall Decreases Amid Axis Shift
The southwest monsoon, which arrived in Punjab on July 2, is expected to weaken over the next six to seven days as the monsoon axis shifts eastward towards the Himalayan foothills. This shift will reduce rainfall in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, leading to a dry spell with rising temperatures and humidity. The India Meteorological Department notes that rain will persist mainly in northeast India, with no immediate signs of renewed monsoon activity in Punjab. The dry conditions may affect paddy transplantation, increasing reliance on irrigation.
