The southwest monsoon has withdrawn from most parts of North India, including Delhi-NCR. Despite this, the region has been receiving continuous heavy rains for the last two days. Heavy to very heavy rains affected normal life in Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, national capital Delhi on Tuesday evening, due to which people were stuck in traffic jams for hours.

In addition, the monsoon has already withdrawn from most parts of Gujarat and western Uttar Pradesh. The monsoon withdrawal had started in the areas of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh bordering Madhya Pradesh. However, the active monsoon systems on both the eastern and western sides for the last 10 days had prevented further withdrawal of the monsoon.
