Southwest monsoon covers the entire country early, but reaches Delhi late
The southwest monsoon covered the entire country on Sunday (June 29), significantly ahead of its normal schedule of July 8. However, in Delhi, its arrival was slightly delayed from the usual onset date of June 27. Last year, the monsoon reached the national capital on June 28, while in 2022 it arrived earlier, on June 25. In recent days, Delhi has witnessed a steady influx of moisture-laden southeasterly winds, which enhanced cloud cover and brought scattered to fairly widespread rainfall across the region. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there have been only a few instances since 1960 when the monsoon has advanced over both Delhi and the entire country on the same day. One such occurrence was on July 2, 1967. Most such instances have taken place in July – in 1968, 1987, 1990, 2003, and 2011. Only once before, in 2013, did the monsoon cover Delhi and the entire country simultaneously in the month of June – on the 16th. Earlier, IMD officials had attributed the delayed arrival over Delhi, despite persistent cloud cover, to an anticyclonic circulation that was temporarily obstructing the monsoon's advance. They noted that the system would weaken soon, allowing the monsoon to progress. Till Saturday, the Northern Limit of Monsoon passed through Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jhunjhunu, Bharatpur, Rampur, Sonipat, and Anup Nagar, as per the IMD. The Met office has issued a yellow alert for Monday, forecasting light to moderate rain or thunderstorms accompanied by lightning in Delhi and surrounding areas. No alerts have been issued for the subsequent days, but rainfall is still expected. Daytime temperatures are likely to fall and remain between 26 and 31 degree Celsius through the week. In its extended range forecast valid up to July 10, the IMD has predicted above-normal rainfall in Delhi. The normal rainfall for the month is 209.7 mm. Between July 3 and 10, the department stated, 'The monsoon trough is likely to be active and near its normal position during most days of the week. As a result, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy falls is likely over many parts of northwest India.'

Pakistan earthquake: Three tremors within 24 hours; no casualties reported yet
Third earthquake jolts Pakistan in one day Pakistan experienced a series of three earthquakes within a span of 24 hours on Sunday, according to data released by the National Center for Seismology (NCS). No casualties or major damage have been reported so far. The latest tremor, measuring 3.8 on the Richter Scale , struck around 11:21 am IST at a shallow depth of 15 km. In a post on X, the NCS said, "EQ of M: 3.8, On: 29/06/2025 11:21:10 IST, Lat: 32.03 N, Long: 72.31 E, Depth: 15 Km, Location: Pakistan." Shallow earthquakes like this one are often more dangerous than deeper ones, as their seismic waves reach the surface with greater force, increasing the potential for damage. Earlier in the day, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake hit the region at 8:02 am IST. Its epicentre was recorded at a depth of just 10 km. The first quake of the day occurred at 3:54 am IST, measuring 5.2 on the Richter Scale. However, this one struck deeper underground, 150 km beneath the surface, making it less likely to cause extensive surface damage. Pakistan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions, sitting atop the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This positioning, where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide, makes the region highly susceptible to powerful earthquakes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรด CFDs ด้วยเทคโนโลยีเทรดสุดล้ำ และ รวดเร็วกว่า IC Markets สมัคร Undo Balochistan, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces lie on the southern edge of the Eurasian plate on the Iranian Plateau.

FIFA World Cup may face similar weather issues According to The Athletic, similar conditions are expected next year during the FIFA World Cup. The report cited Ben Schott, a top official from the National Weather Service (NWS), as saying that heat waves and storms are normal during summers in the United States and could repeat next year. 'What you're seeing right now is very typical. This is not unusual at all. Next year, we may be going through the same thing,' Schott said. NWS is working with FIFA as part of their weather safety planning for next year's World Cup and Schott is part of the team. 'This time of year, especially east of the Rockies, we see thunderstorm development quite frequently. Especially in the northern half of the U.S., (from) Cincinnati all the way east to New York. It's not unusual this time of year to have cold fronts coming through, producing thunderstorms that are going to come through with each cold front. That can come through every three to five, seven days,' Schott added. On the other hand, the ongoing weather issues at the Club World Cup could also be good news for FIFA as they will be able to prepare for next year's mega event. The Club World Cup was expanded to 32 teams this year, but due to the delays and other problems, fans have not had the best experience so far. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
