Southwest Monsoon Withdrawal Begins in Northwest India with Rain Continuing Elsewhere
India's southwest monsoon is beginning to withdraw from northwest regions, starting around September 19 in western Rajasthan, according to the India Meteorological Department. This marks the seasonal transition to drier conditions with northwesterly winds replacing moist monsoon air. While northwest India, including Punjab and Haryana, will experience a dry spell, rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to continue in eastern and southern parts due to ongoing weather systems. Temperatures in Delhi will remain near normal with dry winds prevailing during this period.
