Though monsoon was declared on June 24, the city has barely seen any rain since then. “This is because monsoon winds and clouds were getting weakened by the time they reached the city,” said IMD Chandigarh director Surender Paul.
Residents can expect a downpour in the next two-three days, India Meteorological Department officials said on Friday.
Though monsoon was declared on June 24, the city has barely seen any rain since then. “This is because monsoon winds and clouds were getting weakened by the time they reached the city,” said IMD Chandigarh director Surender Paul.
“This will, however, change in the next two-three days as a new system is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal around Sunday which will strengthen the monsoon system. Further, we are expecting a Western Disturbance (WD) also to affect the region around the same time. So chances of rain are likely to rise from Sunday,” he added.
