Monsoon Axis Shifts, Bringing Dry Weather to Delhi-NCR
· India · India Today, LiveMint
The monsoon axis has shifted toward the Himalayan foothills, causing dry northwesterly winds to spread across Delhi-NCR, Punjab, and Haryana. Satellite imagery from INSAT-3DS confirms that monsoon cloud activity is currently concentrated over eastern and central India, including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. While daytime temperatures are expected to remain stable, the reduction in moisture will likely lower humidity levels over the next two days. Rainfall is expected to remain isolated until August 18, when a low-pressure area from the Bay of Bengal may bring a return of wet conditions to northwest India.
Why it matters
The shift provides temporary relief from humid weather for residents in northwest India, though rainfall is expected to return later in the week.
