"The rainfall activity is being driven by multiple systems. The monsoon trough at mean sea level currently runs across Sri Ganganagar, Rohtak, Shahjahanpur, Gorakhpur, and into the northeast Bay of Bengal," an IMD official said.
"Additionally, an upper air cyclonic circulation over Haryana and its neighbourhood, extending up to 3.1km above mean sea level, continues to feed moisture into the region.
A western disturbance is also present at higher altitudes (around 5.8km), aligned along 72°E north of latitude 32°N," the official added.
"These overlapping systems are likely to trigger recurrent spells of rain, especially in southern and eastern Haryana," an official with IMD Chandigarh said.
"Urban areas like Gurgaon could see waterlogging and localised flooding if the showers intensify," they added.
The district administration has been alerted to prepare for possible disruptions, particularly in low-lying areas and stretches known for poor drainage.

Modi reviews flood situation in Varanasi, directs admin for relief
1 2 Varanasi: With the Ganga expected to breach the danger mark soon, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed the flood situation in his parliamentary constituency on Saturday, emphasising that affected people should get all possible support from the local administration. Interacting with the divisional commissioner and district magistrate, the PM also asked about the arrangements in the relief camps. According to the flood bulletin of the Central Water Commission, the Ganga river in Varanasi was flowing at 70.87 metres at 8 am on Saturday, mere 0.39 metres below the danger mark and 0.61 metres above the warning level. The river is expected to breach the danger mark soon, with the water level rising at a rate of 3 cm per hour. DM Satyendra Kumar inspected the flood control room and examined the register. Vandita Srivastava, additional DM (Finance/Revenue) and flood control room in-charge, stated that the control room gathers crucial data, including officer and staff attendance at relief camps, food distribution, provision of essentials like bananas and milk, and the number of people sheltered in the camps. The Ganga's swelling waters have transformed Manikarnika Ghat, with boats now navigating its lanes, while Harishchandra Ghat's pathways are rapidly running out of space. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo The ghats' temples are underwater, and cremation queues are growing. The flood has impacted 15 villages and 10 urban areas, with over 400 families forced to evacuate. Furthermore, the Varuna's backflow, caused by the Ganga's surge, has inundated more than 18 neighborhoods. The rising water level of the Varuna, a tributary of the Ganga, has caused water to reach homes in various areas like Salarpur, Sarai Mohana, Tatepur, Konia, Vijaypura, Saraiyan, Teenpulia, Shakkar Talab, Talim Nagar, Hidayat Nagar, Meera Ghat, Dhobi Ghat, Bichuanath Akhara, Dhelwaria, Hukulganj, Bhagwanala, Maujhal, Daniyalpur, and Pulkoha. Meanwhile, the situation in Ballia turned grim as the river was flowing 1.29 mt above the danger mark. The rising trend of the river also continued in Mirzapur and Ghazipur.

Rain pain: After outages, now water woes at Ecovillage in Greater Noida
Noida: Residents of a Greater Noida West condo are grappling with a severe water crisis after heavy rainfall flooded several basements on Friday. The flooding led to power outages across multiple towers, disrupting essential services. While electricity supply has since been restored, residents say water supply remains unreliable, forcing them to rely on private tankers for basic household needs. The society Supertech Ecovillage 1, home to thousands, has witnessed repeated complaints over poor drainage and inadequate infrastructure, with residents now demanding a permanent fix from the builder. The residents said that on Saturday, the water tanks could not be refilled during the outage, and the situation worsened as the weekend approached, with most residents staying indoors and needing water for daily use. The situation is particularly dire in towers B 9, B 10, and C 6, where residents have been struggling with almost no water supply.

"We contacted the facility management and demanded that they arrange for water tankers, but even that has been inadequate," she said. Manish Kumar, a resident, said the problem began around 10am on Thursday when water started entering the interconnected basements of the towers. "The flooding affected electrical panels, causing technical malfunctions and leading NPCL to halt the power supply as a safety measure. While diesel generators and inverters were initially used to provide backup electricity, these systems also failed. The DG sets needed a break, and in this process, seven people were also stuck in a lift for 20 minutes on Friday. The power supply resumed at 3 pm on Friday," he said. The rainfall also led to severe flooding in the basement parking areas. With no proper drainage in place, the level rose high enough to partially submerge several cars and two-wheelers parked there. Many vehicle owners discovered the damage only after the water receded slightly. The residents said that despite previous complaints about drainage and water management, the facility management failed to take preventive measures, leaving them to bear the brunt of yet another monsoon disaster. Monu Tyagi, facility manager at Supertech Ecovillage, confirmed that the flooding and moisture damaged the electrical equipment, leading to a temporary shutdown. "The technical issues were resolved, and efforts are now underway to normalise the water supply. We are running motors to pump water and also bringing in tankers to meet the demand," he said. Abhishek Kumar, president of Noida Extension Flat Owner Welfare Association (NEFOWA), said that Ecovillage-1 residents are being forced to fetch water in buckets, giving the feel of slums. Earlier, residents were forced to endure a powerless day and night for a continuous 30 hours. In this society, nearly 15 vehicles were badly damaged due to basement flooding. "If these issues are not fixed, NEFOWA will resort to protest," he said. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

Flooding damages electrical infra, disrupts power supply in 3 districts
Balasore: Electricity supply has been severely disrupted in several villages across Balasore, Bhadrak and Jajpur districts after incessant rainfall caused the Subarnarekha, Jalaka and Baitarani rivers to overflow, with floodwaters damaging electric poles, transformers and distribution lines at multiple sites. Sources said power to over 50,000 consumers in the three districts was temporarily disconnected due to flooding. The worst-affected areas include Basta, Baliapal and Bhograi blocks in Balasore, Chandabali and Dhamnagar in Bhadrak, and Binjharpur in Jajpur, where access remains restricted due to submerged roads. Damage to electrical infrastructure makes it difficult for authorities to resume supply promptly. Power has been partially restored in some areas. However, many villages continue to remain without electricity. In several locations, daytime power cuts are being implemented to facilitate repairs. As per Tata Power Northern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPNODL), the 11kV Pratappur feeder line under the Baliapal primary substation in Balasore was severely impacted, disrupting supply to 72 villages and affecting nearly 10,900 consumers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Global Indices Are on the Move — Time to Trade! IC Markets Learn More Undo As a temporary measure, electricity was provided at night while maintenance was carried out during the day. Power to villages like Chaudharikuda, Palajamkunda, Jamkunda, Talapada, Nayabali, Bishnupur, Kulhachada and Ikdapal have been fully restored. In Jajpur, two blocks experienced major disruptions, affecting around 10,000 consumers. The Sundermuhin substation was particularly hard-hit, with six distribution transformers damaged, 11km of low-tension lines uprooted and a critical river-crossing distribution point destroyed. In Bhadrak, several villages, including Analdiha, Astak, Mishrapur, Khangara-Dhamnagar, Gochhayat Sahi, Pachhalo, Khadimahara, Pangata, Harihansa, Hasnabad and Nuasahi-Asurali, experienced outages. TPNODL deployed 60 personnel, replaced 50 damaged poles and restored power supply. Five substations located in waterlogged areas were temporarily powered through nearby transformers. Gajanan S Kale, CEO of TPNODL, said restoration work is progressing on a war footing. "Our teams are working round the clock to restore electricity in the affected areas. In many places, it is still unsafe to restore connections due to waterlogging, but we are monitoring the situation closely," he added.
