Chandigarh records wettest October day in 21 years

India Oct 07, 2025

Chandigarh saw its wettest October day in 21 years on Monday, with 33.4mm of rain—way above the usual for this month.
The heaviest showers hit in the afternoon, even breaking records at the Sector 39 observatory (which has tracked weather since 2012).

Cold spell expected to end soon

The downpour sent temperatures tumbling from a hot 36°C on Sunday to just 24.8°C—a drop of almost 8 degrees and the coldest October day since 2021.
But don't get too comfy with sweater weather: IMD says temps should bounce back soon as skies clear, though another cool spell could follow thanks to snowfall up north and moisture from Cyclone Shakti swirling over the Arabian Sea.
Expect highs between 26-29°C and mild nights for now.
