September Rainfall Shows Mixed Deficits and Normals in Chandigarh and Haryana
September rainfall data from the India Meteorological Department shows varied patterns in northern India. Chandigarh recorded 132.2 mm of rain, its driest September in three years but slightly above normal, with cooler nights attributed to Western Disturbances and early monsoon withdrawal. In contrast, Gurugram received 23.7 mm, 52.1 mm below normal, contributing to Haryana's overall 45 mm rainfall deficit in September, marking the first shortfall in three years. District-level rainfall varied, with some areas experiencing significant deficits and others near normal or excess rainfall.
