Experts say the monsoon pattern is shifting over the area. They expect the monsoon axis to slide south. At the same time, easterly winds may start to show up more from Friday. Because of this, showers may come in short spells over parts of northern India. Places likely to see rain include Uttar Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, and Rajasthan. Still, the rain will not fall the same way everywhere. Reports suggest most of the showers will stay limited to pockets. Total rainfall in the region is expected to be about 30 to 40 percent. So, one area could get moderate or heavy rain, while a nearby place may see almost nothing.Delhi’s rain looks like more than just bad luck right now.
