October Heat Still Holds On
Even though the calendar has turned to October, Haryana continues to wrestle with summer‑type temperatures. Daytime highs are still running a few degrees above the seasonal average, and the sun remains intense over much of the region.
Data from the Agricultural Meteorology Department of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU) in Hisar show that the last four‑to‑five days have been dominated by dry westerly winds, pushing daytime temperatures to 3‑4 °C above normal and night‑time lows to 2‑3 °C higher than usual.
Two Western Disturbances Expected Oct 7‑12
Meteorologists now forecast a shift in the weather pattern as two successive western disturbances move across the region between 7 and 12 October. Both systems are likely to usher in cloud cover, thunderstorms, rain showers and gusty winds across several districts.
First Disturbance – Impacts from Oct 7
The first system is expected to reach the Himalayan foothills on 7 October, with its peripheral effects spilling into Haryana that night. Northern districts may experience thunderstorms, strong gusts and light rain from 7‑9 October, while parts of the south‑west could also see scattered showers.
These rains should shave a few degrees off the thermometer, providing a brief respite from the stubborn heat.
Second Disturbance – Arrival Around Oct 9
A second western disturbance is projected to become active near 9 October. Its influence is likely to persist from 10‑12 October, bringing partly cloudy skies, renewed wind bursts and additional rainfall in several locations.
The added moisture and wind will help curb the daytime highs that have dominated the past week.
Post‑Rain Cool Breeze
Once the twin systems move out, north‑westerly winds are expected to dominate, driving down both day‑time and night‑time temperatures. Residents can anticipate a noticeable drop in heat and humidity as cooler air settles over the state.
