At present, the state of Uttarakhand is experiencing active Monsoon conditions. In the last 24 hours, good rains have lashed many parts of the state. And a similar condition is likely for another 24 hours.
The reason for these rains can be attributed to the Cyclonic Circulation over Punjab. A Western Disturbance is also passing through North India. Moreover, humid winds from the Bay of Bengal are feeding moisture.
Due to the combined effect of these systems, many areas ofUttarakhandhave already recorded heavy rains. Places such as Pithoragarh, Almora, Kausani, and Munsyari were the ones to witness heavy downpour. Likewise, heavy showers have lashed Kedarnath, while good rains have been reported in Joshimathand and Badrinath in the past 24 hours.
According to our meteorologists, good rains will continue in Uttarakhand for the next 24 hours. Rains would be comparatively heavier over the south-western parts of the state. Pauri, Uttarkashi and adjoining areas, in particular, will get to see heavy Monsoon rains.

Meanwhile, places such as Dehradun, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Haldwani, Rudrapur, Nainital, Gopeshwar, Lansdowne and adjoining areas will see light rains for the next two to three days.
