Above-normal rainfall expected in northwest India in September: IMD
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) says Northwest India—including Uttarakhand, south Haryana, Delhi, and north Rajasthan—should expect above-normal rainfall in September 2025.
This follows a record August with the region seeing its wettest month since 2001, and overall monsoon rains running 27% higher than usual.
Flash floods, landslides likely in Uttarakhand
Heavy downpours have already displaced lakhs of people in Punjab and damaged roads across Himalayan states.
