This time it will rain for a long time in Delhi-NCR, what is the reason behind the delay in the departure of monsoon

Monsoon is a little more kind to Delhi-NCR this time. In such a situation, moderate to heavy rain is still occurring almost every other day. In view of this, the people living here are not likely to get relief soon. According to the latest update of the Meteorological Department (IMD), Delhi and its surrounding areas are likely to receive heavy rains in the last week of September and the first week of October.

This forecast by the Meteorological Department comes with estimates that the departure of monsoon from Delhi may be delayed till the first week of October. Both the annual and average rainfall in Delhi crossed the 1,000 mm mark in early September.

Usually, monsoon rains stop in Delhi and surrounding areas in the last week of September, but this year it seems to be different from the usual. This delay in the withdrawal of monsoon is also attributed to storm Yagi, which originated in the central Pacific Ocean and has travelled thousands of kilometres to reach North India.

This rare phenomenon has caused heavy rainfall in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Uttarakhand, leading to unexpectedly late monsoon rains in these regions.

Another reason for this delay is the slow withdrawal of monsoon from parts of Rajasthan, which is now expected to begin around the last week of September or the first week of October.

This delay indicates that the overall monsoon withdrawal from India will be delayed by an estimated 10-15 days.

For the upcoming week, the weather department has predicted relatively dry conditions across the country, especially over the northern plains and Northeast India. This dry spell is completely different from the weather pattern observed in various regions recently.

Northwest India has received 72 per cent more rainfall than normal in the last seven days, reflecting an unusual weather trend. In contrast, southern parts of India have recorded 86 per cent less rainfall than normal, highlighting the uneven distribution of monsoon rainfall this season.
