Conditions are not favourable for further advance of the monsoon into Rajasthan, some parts of Punjab, Haryana and Delhi, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday. However, there could be slow progress into some more parts of Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh during the next two to three days, it said.

The Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) continues to pass through Diu, Surat, Nandurbar, Bhopal, Nowgong, Hamirpur, Barabanki, Bareilly, Saharanpur, Ambala and Amritsar. “Large-scale atmospheric conditions are not favourable for further advance of the monsoon into Rajasthan, remaining parts of Punjab, Haryana and Delhi,” the IMD forecast read. The weather department had earlier predicted that the wind system may reach Delhi by June 15; 12 days early.
