Monsoon Advances Across North India

The southwest monsoon continues to strengthen its presence over northern India. The IMD confirmed that the monsoon advanced into additional parts of Haryana and Punjab on July 1, with conditions remaining favourable for it to cover the remaining areas of both states within the next four days.

Several cities in Haryana also reported varying temperatures on Saturday. Ambala recorded a maximum of 35.5°C, while Sirsa remained the hottest at 38.5°C. Hisar registered 36.6°C, Karnal 36.5°C, Narnaul 34.5°C, Rohtak 33.6°C, and Bhiwani 34°C.

As the monsoon gradually spreads further across the region, more rainfall is expected to provide continued relief from high temperatures and improve overall weather conditions in Delhi and neighbouring states.
