A rainy end to month? After humid spell, intense showers set to lash Gurgaon
Gurgaon: After a dry spell, most parts of Haryana, including the city, are likely to see moderate to heavy showers on July 28 and 29, with the monsoon expected to shift south of Delhi and intensify over neighbouring regions. According to IMD, rainfall activity is expected to be widespread across Gurgaon, Faridabad, and south Haryana areas, especially in the late evening and early morning hours. "Weather models show that a low-pressure system currently active over north India will move towards northeast Rajasthan. This will likely trigger heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of Rajasthan and northern Madhya Pradesh. Delhi, which lies just north of this system, could also see spillover rain," an IMD official said.
