NEW DELHI/PUNE/SRINAGAR:
The monsoon is spreading its wings as life was today thrown out of gear in the Kashmir valley, including summer capital, Srinagar.
Conditions are favourable for further advance of Southwest Monsoon into remaining parts of Arabian Sea and entire country during the next 48 hours.
A report from Srinagasr said rain coupled with winds has resulted in further drop in the mercury and people could be seen wearing warm clothes again. A Met department spokesperson has warned of heavy rain and thundershowers at isolated places in Jammu and Kashmir during the next 24 hours.
The southwest monsoon has further advanced into most parts of north Arabian Sea, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, entire Jammu and Kashmir, some more parts of Madhya Pradesh and east Uttar Pradesh, some parts of Punjab and east Rajasthan, and in remaining parts of Bihar. National capital Delhi today experienced mild rain which brought some respite to the people from the scorching heat.
The Met officials were expecting the monsoon on June 29 but now it may reach here around July 1. A report from Pune said scattered heavy to very heavy rain, with isolated extremely heavy showers, would occur over Gujarat during next 24 hours.
Isolated heavy to very heavy rain would occur over Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Konkan and Goa. (AGENCIES)
