The Indian Meteorological Department has confirmed that the southwest monsoon has receded from Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana, marking a significant shift in the region's rainfall pattern.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) announced on Tuesday that the southwest monsoon has withdrawn from the states of Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana.
The statement indicates that the monsoon trough has moved northward, leaving these regions with reduced rainfall and drier conditions.
The withdrawal is expected to impact water availability for farmers, especially in Punjab and Haryana where irrigation depends heavily on monsoon rains.
Authorities may need to release water from reservoirs and adjust water‑management plans to mitigate the effects of the drier spell.
