IMD Forecasts Heavy Rainfall and Alerts for Chandigarh and Punjab Next Week
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall in Chandigarh and Punjab over the coming week. Chandigarh may see isolated heavy rain on Tuesday with an orange alert issued, potentially reducing the seasonal rainfall deficit caused by a weak monsoon linked to El Nino. Punjab is expected to experience widespread rains from July 26 to 31, with yellow and orange alerts for heavy rainfall in certain areas. Despite recent dry spells, temperatures remain stable, and the monsoon is generally below average in both regions.
