The northern regions of India are currently experiencing heavy rainfall, resulting in a significant impact across the plains and hills. In addition, Ladakh has witnessed fresh snowfall.
The national capital, Delhi, recorded its highest single-day rainfall in the past 40 years on Sunday. This downpour can be attributed to the active monsoon trough and a Western Disturbance.
The India Meteorological Department has reported the presence of a low-pressure area in southwest Rajasthan and nearby areas, further contributing to the rainfall. As a consequence of the continuous rain, several schools in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad have been closed on Monday:
