Predicted Weather in Punjab: Anticipated Spells of Dry Weather Interrupted by Short Spells of Rainfall
The monsoon season in Punjab, India, has officially come to an end, as the southwest monsoon has withdrawn from parts of the state. This marks the end of the 2025 monsoon season for the region.
The monsoon withdrawal has progressed through Punjab, Haryana, and parts of Rajasthan. The withdrawal line currently passes through Bhatinda and Fatehabad. As a result, the weather in most Punjab districts is dry and hot, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 36°C on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
Clear skies and sunny conditions are expected to dominate Punjab for the remainder of September, with minimal rain. However, isolated places in northern regions may experience brief thundershowers, with gusty winds reaching up to 30-40 kmph. According to the forecast, these northern districts may receive 0.4 inches of rainfall with 74% precipitation during the morning hours on Thursday, September 18.
Ludhiana reached 34°C, and Amritsar touched 35°C on Wednesday afternoon. The UV index in Punjab is high at 7, necessitating sun protection during peak daytime hours. Humidity levels in the region are moderate at 53-60%, with gentle winds blowing from the southeast at 3-5 mph.
Air quality in major cities of Punjab shows moderate levels, with Chandigarh recording an AQI of 85 and Jalandhar at an AQI of 92. Dust levels may rise in Punjab due to the lack of rainfall to settle particles.
Farmers should prepare for dry harvesting conditions ideal for kharif crop collection. Rainfall, if it occurs, will be light to moderate intensity and will last only a few hours.
Meanwhile, the eastern and central regions of Punjab in Pakistan are expected to experience continued heavy rainfall and floods around Thursday, 18 September 2025, as the area is currently suffering from severe flooding with over 1,400 villages submerged and another rain wave approaching. This is a stark contrast to the weather conditions in India's Punjab region.
