Rainfall in parts of Punjab and Haryana has led to a significant drop in temperatures, offering much-needed relief from the scorching heat. The meteorological department has predicted that the wet spell will persist until June 1, with more showers expected in the coming days.
Current Weather Conditions
Several cities in both states recorded moderate to heavy rainfall on Friday. Chandigarh, the joint capital, witnessed a pleasant morning with light drizzles. The maximum temperature in the region fell by several degrees compared to the previous days, settling around 30 degrees Celsius in many areas.
Impact on Agriculture
The rain has been beneficial for farmers, especially those with standing crops like wheat and sugarcane. However, waterlogging in low-lying areas has caused some inconvenience. The agriculture department has advised farmers to take necessary precautions.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for isolated heavy rainfall in some parts of Punjab and Haryana over the next 48 hours. Residents have been advised to stay indoors during thunderstorms and avoid unnecessary travel. The wet spell is expected to provide further relief from the heat wave conditions that prevailed earlier this week.
