Over a month has passed since the arrival of the Monsoon. However, the monsoon's pace has slowed in some areas, resulting in a lack of rainfall in recent days. This has led to a rise in temperatures once again. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall and cloud bursts have caused floods in parts of the country. Although the monsoon's progress has slowed in some states, it is expected to regain momentum soon. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall alert for several states across the country between 8th and 14th August.
Rajasthan has experienced a lack of rainfall in recent days, but the monsoon is expected to pick up pace soon. According to the meteorological department, rainfall is likely to resume in many parts of Rajasthan after August 10th. Between 10th and 14th August, several areas in Rajasthan may experience intermittent heavy rainfall.
The national capital, Delhi, has also seen a lack of rainfall in recent days, leading to increased heat. However, according to the meteorological department, the weather in Delhi will change after August 10th, with light rain and strong winds providing relief from the heat.

Over the next 7 days, many areas in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh are expected to experience heavy rainfall in some places and light rainfall in others.
