The Indian Meteorological Department reports dry conditions across Punjab and Chandigarh today, with a chance of light rain starting on October 28.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a weather bulletin indicating that today the state of Punjab and the Union Territory of Chandigarh are experiencing dry weather, with no significant precipitation expected. Temperatures are expected to remain within the typical range for early autumn, and humidity levels are relatively low.
According to the same forecast, a shift in weather patterns is anticipated later in the month. The IMD predicts that light rain could begin on October 28, affecting most parts of Punjab and the Chandigarh region. The rainfall is expected to be moderate, primarily in the form of scattered showers rather than heavy downpours.
Meteorologists note that such a brief spell of rain can provide much‑needed relief to farmers ahead of the upcoming sowing season, while also helping to replenish groundwater levels. Residents are advised to stay updated with local forecasts as the date approaches.
