Delhi-NCR Weather Turns Pleasant Amid Monsoon Withdrawal; Heavy Rain Predicted in Some States
IN · Published Sep 28, 2026
• The southwest monsoon is gradually retreating from northern and western India, with its withdrawal line currently passing through Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
• This retreat is leading to a decline in rainfall activity across these regions.

Impact & Risks

The retreating monsoon is expected to reduce rainfall activity in northern India, but isolated weather events may still cause localised disruptions. Heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand, South Interior Karnataka, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands could lead to waterlogging, flash floods, and travel disruptions. Thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are also likely in states such as Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry. Additionally, a developing depression over the Andaman Sea may intensify marine conditions, posing risks to fishermen and coastal activities.
