The reason for rainfall
Recently, the heavy downpour has hit the north India along with thunder and storm. After very hot days, yesterday’s rain spell was a boon for the people of Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali. Though it was cloudy throughout the day and drizzled by the evening, the heavy rain lashed the tricity by the midnight, recording 0.2 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours. The unexpected showers in the northern regions was due to the Western Disturbance over the Western Himalayas creating a cyclonic circulation in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi NCR.
