IMD also hinted at dry weather which will likely prevail over West Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi during next five days.
Informing about the recent developments, IMD tweeted, “Due to anti-cyclonic flow over northwest India at lower tropospheric levels, dry weather is very likely over West Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi during next 05 days.”
IMD further indicated that the dry weather and anti-cyclonic conditions are favourable for withdrawal of the SW monsoon winds from parts of Northwest India during the next three days.
“Hence conditions are becoming favorable for withdrawal of Southwest Monsoon from parts of Northwest India during next 3 days,” IMD said.
