According to Rajendra Jenamani, Senior Scientist, Meteorological Department, due to the activity of Western Disturbance, the trough is persisting in the middle and upper part of the air. At the same time, moist air is reaching Delhi via the Arabian Sea via Gujarat, East Rajasthan and Uttarakhand. Because of this, rain is being recorded even after the monsoon has passed. According to another meteorologist, its effect is being seen in the form of rain in Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh. This spell of rain will continue in the next 24 hours as well. Let us tell you that this time the monsoon has returned late from its scheduled time.
