Chandigarh, June 19

Rain is expected tomorrow and the day after in the city. According to the Chandigarh Meteorological Department, rain is likely for the next two days and a clear sky is expected thereafter. This month has already seen 31.2 mm of rainfall.

“It is due to the influence of a western disturbance at the middle tropospheric level and southwesterly winds from Arabian Sea to northwest India at the lower tropospheric level,” said a Met update.

The city today recorded 31.3°C as the maximum temperature, 6.9 degrees below normal. The minimum temperature was 22.7°C.

The maximum as well as the minimum temperatures are expected to rise gradually over the next few days. The city had yesterday recorded the coldest June day after 2013.
