The weather department reported rainfall at several locations in Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Punjab between 8:30 am Saturday and 5:30 am Sunday. This rainfall coincides with the ongoing withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from north west India.

By 5:30 am Sunday, a depression over southeast Uttar Pradesh had weakened into a well-marked low-pressure area over northern central Uttar Pradesh. It is expected to move north-northwest and weaken further within the next 12 hours.
The IMD advises farmers in Haryana to postpone irrigation, intercultural operations, and the application of fertilisers and plant protection measures. Farmers should also ensure adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Elsewhere, the most severe rainfall warning for Sunday applies to Uttarakhand, where heavy to very heavy rain and isolated extremely heavy rainfall are likely. Himachal Pradesh and West Uttar Pradesh may receive heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated locations. Isolated heavy rain is also forecast for East Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi.
