Depression Causes Heavy Rain in Northern India Despite Monsoon Withdrawal
A depression over central India is moving towards southeastern Uttar Pradesh, causing heavy rain and thunderstorms across northern and central India from September 26 to 28. Despite the southwest monsoon officially withdrawing from Delhi and surrounding areas, the interaction of this depression with a Western Disturbance is triggering widespread rainfall, especially in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi-NCR. Authorities have issued heavy to very heavy rain warnings, with concerns over landslides and flash floods in hilly regions. The monsoon retreat is gradual, allowing rain to continue temporarily.
