IMD Forecasts Continued Pre-Monsoon Activity Till June 20

Weather experts attribute the change in conditions to a cyclonic circulation over northern Rajasthan and adjoining areas. An east-west trough extending across Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar is also influencing weather patterns near Delhi. Additionally, a western disturbance is expected to affect northwest India by late June 17, further supporting rainfall activity.
