delhiUpdated: Aug 24, 2020 12:30 ISTThe Regional Meteorological Centre, Delhi, said there is likely to be light rain or drizzle in many areas of NCR in a few hours, including Palwal, Ballabhgarh, Farrukhnagar, Kosli and some parts of Delhi. However, heavy rain is expected only around August 26. Low pressure areas are the main rain bearing system during the monsoon, which bring a lot of rain to the core monsoon region (parts of central and east India). Due to the convergence of lower level easterlies from Bay of Bengal and south-westerlies from Arabian Sea, rainfall activity is also likely to increase over northwest India from August 25: Jammu & Kashmir, Gilgit, Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh are likely to record heavy rain from August 25 to 28 and Uttarakhand is likely to record heavy to very heavy rain from August 25 to 28. Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh are likely to record widespread and heavy rain on August 26 and 27.
