the satellite photos this morning are showing an area of rain parked right on top of us, covering most of the northwestern section of himachal pradesh. as has been the case recently, there is little movement indicated, thanks to nearly calm winds in the upper atmosphere. yesterday was a huge day for rainfall over much of northwest india, including chandigarh, most of punjab, haryana and the delhi NCR. there are reports of flooding in many places to our south. periods of rain will persist, and thunderstorms with heavy rain are likely to develop again today over parts of northern india. not everyone will get in on the action, but where it hits, it will be intense! statistics show that THIS WEEK is the peak of the heaviest monsoon rains across northwest india, on average...
