Heavy rains are predicted over some places across Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Punjab on Sunday as well. A part of the rain-bearing system had been slow in its progress to Delhi, Haryana and Punjab, while proceeding normally over bordering western Uttar Pradesh. The monsoon was sluggish and 11% below normal in June after arriving in Kerala on June 8, a week late. The southwest monsoon has arrived over the National Capital, the Met department said in an update on Sunday, as frequent downpours cooled temperatures and brought surplus rainfall to northern states. The Met department has said that rainfall in July, the most critical month for farming operation, would be surplus.
