Gurgaon Records 71% Excess Rain While Haryana Stays Dry

Gurgaon received 55mm of rain between September 4 and September 10. That total is 71% above the city’s usual weekly average of 32.2mm. The district therefore stood apart from much of Haryana.

The week also improved the city’s monsoon tally. Since June 1, Gurgaon has recorded 467.4mm of rain. The normal seasonal figure is 452.2mm. The city is now 3% above that mark.

The rest of the state did not share the surplus. IMD data show a 45% rainfall deficit across Haryana for the same week. The state received 15.5mm against a normal of 28.2mm.

Several districts stayed almost dry. Sirsa, Jind, Hisar, Charkhi Dadri, and Bhiwani reported weekly deficits between 95% and 100%. For the full season, Haryana remains 24% below normal. Gurgaon, Nuh, and Palwal are among the few districts that have met or crossed the seasonal average.

More rain is still likely in Gurgaon. IMD has forecast light to moderate showers at isolated places from September 11 to 13. The same pattern is expected on September 14 and 15. The office has not issued a specific warning for Gurgaon.

The past week brought mixed weather. Thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds marked the first five days. Isolated heavy rain fell between September 4 and 7. Conditions then eased. The district recorded no significant rain in the 24 hours ending September 10.

IMD has warned of heavy rain at isolated places in Haryana on September 14 and 15. Gurgaon’s own forecast remains light to moderate.
