Weather update: As southwest monsoon advances, north India likely to receive rain by first week of July
IMD predicted heavy rainfall in several states, including the south and northwest
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reports that the southwest monsoon is advancing but currently lacks significant rainfall in much of north India, with clear skies observed over Delhi-NCR, western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan, despite monsoon clouds being concentrated over central India, the Bay of Bengal, the northeast, and parts of the southern peninsula. Predictions indicate intensifying rainfall in southern and western India, with Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh expected to receive intense showers, and moderate to heavy rainfall forecast for Telangana, Konkan and Goa, and central Maharashtra. A developing tropical weather system over the eastern Indian Ocean is anticipated to move into the Bay of Bengal, potentially strengthening the monsoon and triggering a low-pressure area that could lead to increased rainfall activity in early July, possibly benefiting northwest India, including Delhi. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu is bracing for heavy rain across 15 districts, affecting both northern regions, including Chennai, and southern districts like the Nilgiris and Coimbatore.

As per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the southwest monsoon is advancing towards north India, but several states are not yet witnessing any rain.
The latest INSAT-3DS satellite image shows monsoon clouds concentrated over central India, the Bay of Bengal, the northeast and parts of the southern peninsula, while large areas of Delhi-NCR, western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan remain under relatively clear skies.
IMD has predicted that rainfall may intensify in southern and western India, while a sudden change in weather is expected in the northwestern states.
Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh are likely to get intense rainfall.
Moderate to heavy rainfall is forecast in Telangana, Kokan and Goa, Central Maharashtra, and surrounding areas.
According to meteorologists, a large tropical weather system is developing north of the equator over the eastern Indian Ocean. This is expected to move northward into the Bay of Bengal over the next four to seven days, strengthening the monsoons.
If it happens, it could trigger a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal and could possibly intensify the rainfall activity during the first week of July, bringing some respite to the remaining parts of northwest India, including Delhi.
In Tamil Nadu, heavy rain is likely to lash 15 districts. As per the Regional Meteorological Centre, heavy rain is likely to occur over Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Theni, Dindigul, Madurai, Kanyakumari, Ghat areas of Virudhunagar, Tenkasi and Tirunelveli districts.
Concerning the northern parts of Tamil Nadu, the weather data said that heavy rain is likely to occur over Chennai, Tiruvallur, Ranipet, Tiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts during the same period.
