New Delhi: There are signs that the weakened monsoon in the mountains of North India will become active once again. The Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rains for two days in some districts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand due to the activation of Western disturbance.

Let us tell you that this time the monsoon weakened in the middle after becoming active in Himachal. However, the maximum rainfall occurred in August. Kuldeep Srivastava, Director of Meteorological Center Shimla, says that the monsoon normally used to return from the state by 24 September, but it does not seem so now. Even now, there is a possibility of rain in some parts of Rajasthan under the monsoon, due to which it may take some time for the monsoon to leave the state.

According to the Meteorological Center, the weather will be clear again after September 27. Earlier in 2019, monsoon rains had completely stopped on October 11. At present, there are no signs of monsoon leaving till October 6. Even though the monsoon period is getting longer this year, the rainfall in the state has been 20 percent less than normal.

Heavy rain alert in Uttarakhand today

In Uttarakhand, the weather has been dry since last one week and the mercury is constantly rising. However, the weather has taken a turn from Tuesday today. It rained in the afternoon in the hilly districts including Dehradun. According to the Director of the Meteorological Centre, Bikram Singh, there are chances of partial cloud cover in most parts of the state on Wednesday. There may be heavy rain with thunder and lightning in the hilly districts of the Kumaon division. In this regard, a yellow alert has been issued in the Kumaon division. There are chances of light rain in Dehradun.

Maximum temperature crossed 30 degrees in 10 places

There has been no rain in Himachal for five days. Due to this, the maximum temperature has increased by two to three degrees Celsius in low and medium altitude areas. Maximum temperature above 30 degrees Celsius was recorded at 10 places in the state. Una recorded the highest temperature of 38.6 degrees Celsius. The maximum temperature at Shimla and its nearby tourist places was 28.4 degrees. Tourists and local people got relief due to cloud cover and cold wind in the afternoon.

Monsoon is causing trouble for the early crops

The withdrawal of monsoon has started from the western part of the country. This time due to the late returning monsoon with 6% more rain than normal, the late crops in Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh will benefit but the early crops which are ready to be harvested in a large part of North India have started getting damaged. The paddy crop is ready in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh. Standing crops in the fields may fall due to excessive rain. Excessive moisture than the standard may cause problems in selling in the markets. Due to excessive wetness in the fields, sowing of pulses and oilseeds crops will also get delayed.
