Monsoon Activity Weakens as El Niño Concerns Rise

Satellite imagery shows a significant reduction in cloud cover over the Bay of Bengal, signaling a potential weakening of moisture transport and a subdued phase for the Indian monsoon.

The monsoon axis is shifting southwards, which is expected to bring dry weather to Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, limiting rainfall to isolated, short-lived showers.

Meteorologists are monitoring Pacific Ocean conditions for El Niño, which could disrupt the summer monsoon, though active rainfall systems currently persist over central parts of India.
