Monsoon remains active across India while Delhi faces dry heat spells

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

In July 2026, monsoon activity is strong across most of India, with heavy rain benefiting states like Maharashtra, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
However, Delhi-NCR, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand remain largely dry, with daytime temperatures of 35-38 degrees and humid nights.
The India Meteorological Department attributes this to an active monsoon trough positioned over central India and a western disturbance bringing dry north-westerly winds that suppress cloud formation over the north.
The dry spell is raising concerns for farmers dependent on irrigation, groundwater levels, and Delhi's water supply, though the IMD expects some relief as the trough shifts north in the next few days.
