The northern hills of the country have been experiencing good Monsoon rains . Meantime, Himachal Pradesh has also been recording heavy Monsoon rainfall activities. Though the rain intensity was seen much more in Himachal Pradesh than over Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir since the last few days.

In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Katra recorded 144 mm of rain, Dharamsala 106 mm, Jammu 49.2 mm, Manali 40.2 mm, Solan 23 mm, Banihal 14.8 mm, Bhaderwah and Haridwar 10.2 mm, Nahan 7.4 mm, Shimla 7.1 mm, Champawat 7 mm, Surendranagar  and Uttarkashi 6 mm, Kullu 3.4 mm, Pahalgam 3.2 mm, Batote 2.4 mm, Kalpa 1 mm and Srinagar 0.3 mm.

These weather conditions can be attributed to a Western Disturbance which is seen over Jammu and Kashmir. Due to this weather system, light to moderate rains along with few isolated heavy spells may occur over Uttarakhand and South Jammu and Kashmir including cities like Jammu and Katra. Meanwhile, heavy rain and thundershowers also cannot be ruled out over Himachal Pradesh during the next two days.

Furthermore, with this system, the sky is expected to become partly cloudy and gradually the cloud cover will increase over many parts of North Hills of India. After July 26-27, the rainfall activities will reduce over the entire northern hills. This decrease in the rainfall activities is attributed to a fresh Western Disturbance which will prevail over the Hills of North India by July 29-30 and thereafter, the intensity of rains will see an increase once again over these areas.
