The plains of North India are likely to come under the spell of heavy to very heavy rains during the approaching weekend. Peak intensity with widespread coverage is expected on Sunday, 6th July 2025. Large parts of Haryana, the eastern half of Punjab and its foothills, along with adjoining parts of West Uttar Pradesh and Northeast Rajasthan, are likely to experience inclement weather conditions.

An interaction between a Western Disturbance and the monsoon trough is expected to cause fairly widespread rain and thundershowers over the plains of North India. The Western Disturbance, in the form of a cyclonic circulation, will develop over North Punjab and adjoining areas on 6th July 2025. This system will pull the western end of the monsoon trough northward. Under the combined influence of these two features, fairly widespread weather activity is expected on Sunday, with a spillover effect during the subsequent 48 hours.

Haryana will witness widespread rain and thundershowers, followed by scattered activity over the Malwa region of Punjab and its foothills. Adjoining parts of Northeast Rajasthan and Southwest Uttar Pradesh will also experience intense weather activity. This will include heavy rain and thundershowers accompanied by lightning strikes, strong gusty winds, and possible hailstorms at a few locations.

Prolonged and intense weather activity may lead to localized flooding, inundation, and waterlogging in low-lying areas. Prominent locations at risk include Patiala, Ludhiana, Ropar, Mohali, Chandigarh, Panchkula, Karnal, Ambala, Panipat, Sonipat, Rohtak, Kaithal, Jind, Jhajjar, and Palwal. Delhi/NCR will also be vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad. Contiguous parts of Northeast Rajasthan and Southwest Uttar Pradesh — including Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Mathura, Aligarh, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Jaipur, Alwar, and Dholpur — are also at risk of harsh weather.
