Although it is not unheard of for October to see rain, the increase in the number of severe weather events throughout the year is cause for concern. The northeast monsoon takes over during October as the southwest monsoon moves away. This month brings rain to the eastern portion of the southern peninsula of India. Western disturbances cause precipitation or snowfall in the northern regions of India.

Despite the fact that it is October, we are experiencing rain almost every day. The rain dishes are appreciated by those who have turned off their air conditioners. The constant downpours also helped reduce air pollution, but the question is whether this is normal. Or does it suggest a change in the climate?

The continued rain in a number of locations is thought to be caused by a variety of factors, including delayed monsoons and the formation of low-pressure regions. These delayed rains may also be caused by climate change.

A Possible Cause: The Delayed Withdrawal of the Monsoon Another possibility for this rain is the delayed withdrawal of the monsoon. By the beginning of October, the southwest monsoon typically disappears completely, causing scattered thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. By September, the monsoon typically ends its run. The monsoon has yet to leave this time, however, as a cyclone has formed in the Bay of Bengal. Additionally, it is possible that the region will continue to experience heavy rains until the 12th and 13th of October.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a warning on Wednesday that heavy rain would begin on October 6. The torrential downpour began late on Friday night in several parts of India and continued throughout the weekend. Today, more rain is expected in Delhi-NCR and nearby areas, according to the IMD.
