A Western disturbance lies as a cyclonic circulation over southern parts of Afghanistan and the neighbourhood in lower levels with a trough aloft in mid-tropospheric westerlies.

Due to interaction between the Western disturbance and strong lower level easterlies associated with the remnant cyclonic circulation, the IMD had predicted light to moderate rainfall at most places with heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places for Sunday and Monday over Delhi-NCR, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and western Uttar Pradesh apart from Haryana, Chandigarh and east Rajasthan.
