India’s long-awaited monsoon is finally unfolding, and the northern states—Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab—are set to receive the first major relief from relentless heat. After weeks of intense temperatures soaring into the 40s and generating ruthless sun spells across Bathinda, Sirsa, and Chandigarh (timesofindia.indiatimes.com), the skies are now ushering in much-needed rain.
In Haryana and Punjab, pre-monsoon showers are active. Recent rain in Faridabad, Bhiwani, Rohtak, and neighboring districts brought humidity down and offered comfort from scorching temperatures . The IMD has issued a four-day Yellow alert for the NCR and Haryana, warning of intermittent storms, gusty winds (up to 60 km/h), and heavy showers through June 24 . Temperatures are expected to hover in the mid-30s with intermittent relief, although sticky conditions may persist.
Himachal Pradesh is staging its classic monsoon preamble. After deviating heat, regions like Shimla, Manali, Palampur, and Una experienced light to moderate rainfall, bringing early respite (bignewsnetwork.com). The IMD forecasts Yellow alert for June 19–20 and Orange alert through the weekend. Monsoon onset is now anticipated between June 20 and 22 , ushering in a sustained spell of rain likely to continue into late June.
This monsoon revival is part of a national shift. Despite an early seasonal lull, the southwest monsoon is now advancing into central and northern India, including the Indo-Gangetic plains (business-standard.com). This follows devastating heatwaves earlier in June, which saw several red alerts across the region (devdiscourse.com).
Economically, this timely arrival is a positive boon. Haryana and Punjab, key agricultural zones, stand to benefit immensely. The IMD expects above-normal seasonal rainfall—115% of average for Punjab and over 114% for Haryana—favourable news for crop sowing (timesofindia.indiatimes.com). Himachal, too, is likely to receive slightly above normal rain, supporting hydroelectric and farming sectors.
While Monsoonal rains cool the landscape and ease human discomfort, they also bring risks—flash flooding, waterlogging, and landslides in hilly zones demand preparation. Residents are urged to stay alert during storms and heed local advisories.
Over the next week, northern India’s weather will check its extremes: sunshine tempered by storms, daytime highs held in check, and pre-monsoon vitality transforming into full-monsoon rhythm by late June. For those tracking sowing windows, weather-sensitive travelers, and farmers alike, this shift is a welcome chapter in the region’s seasonal story.
