In an unexpected turn of the weather, Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh have found themselves drenched in surplus monsoon rain this June. The capital city of Chandigarh observed a monumental 37% increase in rainfall compared to its regular monthly average.
Key areas like Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Patiala in Punjab, along with Hisar, Karnal, and Rohtak in Haryana, have seen significant downpours. This unusual weather pattern has captured the attention of the Met Office, which released data indicating that this year's rainfall far exceeds usual levels.
Experts from the Meteorological Department have drawn parallels to past records, noting that Chandigarh is nearing its historical rainfall mark set in June 2013. The trend suggests a notable deviation from normal precipitation, raising questions about future weather patterns in the region.
