The Meteorological department of Himachal Pradesh state today
predicted heavy rains in several provinces in the next four to five days.
Parts of Himachal
Pradesh received heavy rainfall on Monday as the southwest monsoon intensified
in the hilly state.
In the last 12 hours
alone, Mandi and Sirmaur districts have received 120 milli-meters and 70
milli-meters of rains respectively.
Director of
Meteorological Department, Himachal Pradesh, Manmohan Singh, said that maximum rainfall
is expected in five districts.
"In the next
four - five days the weather will remain turbulent with non-stop rains
expected. Heavy rain is likely in the mid-hills and low hills. Districts Mandi,
Kangra, Sirmaur, Bilaspur and Solan are also expected to receive heavy
rains," said Singh.
Southwest monsoon hit
the coast of Kerala on June 8.
The monsoon has
remained 15 percent lower than average in June, but according to the Indian
Meteorological Department (IMD) the deficit is expected to narrow in the days
to come.
The weather office
forecasts monsoon rains to be above average this year after consecutive
droughts ravaged crops and worsened rural distress.
