Monsoon Forecast: Significant Rainfall Expected in North India Over the Next 15 Days – India Today

### Heavy Rainfall Expected Across North India: Critical Two Weeks Ahead

North India is bracing for a significant bout of heavy rainfall over the next two weeks, as weather experts emphasize the importance of monitoring conditions closely. The upcoming days are anticipated to be crucial for managing potential impacts from the Southwest Monsoon.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Southwest Monsoon is likely to advance over key regions including Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and Chandigarh within the next two to three days. This rainfall is expected to provide relief from the soaring temperatures experienced in some areas, but officials warn that it could also lead to severe weather conditions.

Additionally, reports indicate that northeastern states, particularly Assam, are already facing the brunt of heavy rains, leading to waterlogging and transport disruptions. The IMD has issued rain alerts for nearly 20 states, signaling the widespread nature of the impending weather.

In Delhi, the monsoon is projected to hit around July 3-4, bringing a welcome break from the prevailing heat. However, the situation remains dynamic with heavy rainfall forecasted, raising concerns about flooding and related hazards in various regions.

Residents and authorities are advised to remain vigilant and prepared for adverse weather conditions that could disrupt daily activities and infrastructure. Emergency services and local governments are coordinating to address potential flooding and related impacts as the monsoon season intensifies.

The Meteorological Department continues to provide timely updates, urging the public to stay informed about weather changes and follow precautionary measures as necessary.
