Satellite imagery shows the monsoon trough moving away from Delhi, with the main rain band now positioned over the Himalayas.

Satellite data released by the Indian Meteorological Department indicates that the monsoon trough has retreated from the Delhi region, marking a significant shift in the Indian monsoon pattern. The main rain belt, which typically brings heavy showers to the national capital, has moved northward and is now concentrated over the Himalayan foothills. This change is expected to reduce rainfall over Delhi and surrounding areas, potentially leading to drier conditions in the coming days. Meteorologists warn that the shift could also affect downstream river flows and water availability in the northern states. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely to provide timely advisories to farmers and urban planners.
