Northwest Winds Cause Temporary Monsoon Pause; Official Withdrawal Expected After Mid-September
Satellite imagery shows a significant reduction in cloud cover across North and Northwest India, signaling a temporary pause in monsoon rainfall due to strong northwesterly winds bringing dry air. Despite clear skies and hotter daytime temperatures expected over the next several days, the official monsoon withdrawal has not yet begun and is projected to start after September 15. Weather models forecast a gradual strengthening of anticyclonic circulation by late September, which may lead to an organized retreat of the southwest monsoon.
