The monsoon’s impact is now beginning to weaken across the country. According to the weather department, the monsoon is expected to begin withdrawing from western Rajasthan today. It will then gradually retreat from Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh. After that, the monsoon will weaken and withdraw from the rest of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra before leaving the entire country.<\/p>\n

Rainfall activity in Uttar Pradesh is likely to cease from 22 September. However, some areas are still facing flood-like conditions. In Gonda, the falling water level of the Ghaghara river has brought some relief, but around 10,000 people in 15 villages continue to be affected by the floods. Several houses and surrounding areas remain waterlogged.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra received rain on Friday after a prolonged dry spell. Five people, including a couple, died in two lightning incidents during the rain. Four people were also injured in the incidents.<\/p>\n
