Heavy rain likely to lash Haryana next week as monsoon intensifies
Gurgaon: After seeing sporadic showers over the past couple of days, the city is likely to witness a surge in rainfall activity over the coming days, with heavy rainfall expected in parts of the state early next week. While only light rain is expected at isolated places during the next 24 hours, India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning of heavy rainfall between July 20 and 22 across northern, eastern and southern Haryana. The intensity of rain is expected to peak on Monday and Tuesday, bringing with it the possibility of localised flooding and disruption in low-lying areas.

Isolated places may receive heavy showers," said a senior IMD official. According to IMD, this is due to the presence of an active monsoon trough coupled with a depression over northwest and adjoining northeast Rajasthan. Moreover, a fresh western disturbance in the middle tropospheric levels is likely to enhance the intensity of rainfall across the region. In July so far, the city has seen abundant rainfall.

84 mm rain in less than 2 hours, high tide combine to sink city pockets
1 2 3 4 5 6 Kolkata: Heavy showers left Kolkata drenched and streets inundated for several hours on Saturday afternoon. The spell turned out to be the second heaviest of the season, triggering 84 mm of rain between 8 am and 2.30 pm. On July 8, the city had recorded 87 mm, which is so far the highest this monsoon. While Saturday's rain was caused by the twin effect of the monsoon trough and a north-south trough, a fresh low-pressure area is set to form over the north Bay of Bengal on July 24, which may lead to showers across south Bengal, including Kolkata, said the Met office. Several thoroughfares across south, north, and central Kolkata went underwater during the shower that gained intensity from 12 noon. The heaviest rain was recorded at Southern Avenue, which received 101 mm, followed by 91 mm at Chetla and Jagannath Ghat at Strand Road, 87 mm at Kalighat, and 75 mm at the CPT colony area in Taratala. Around 6 pm, the rainwater was yet to recede in Southern Avenue, Lake Gardens, Jodhpur Park, Chetla, Alipore, and Behala neighbourhoods.
