The weather office says the rain started late in north India. Some places had too little rain, but other places had too much rain.

氣象局表示北印度的降雨開始較晚。部分地區雨量不足，但其他地區則降雨過多。

The rain arrived late in Delhi and Punjab. It came on July 1. June was very dry and very hot. Farmers could not plant many crops because there was no water.

德里和旁遮普的降雨較晚抵達。直到7月1日才開始下雨。6月非常乾熱。由於缺乏水源，農民無法種植許多作物。

Mumbai had a different problem. It had too much rain in one day. The water covered the streets and stopped the trains. The city was in danger.

孟拜則面臨不同的問題。該市在一天之內降雨過多，積水淹沒街道並導致火車停駛，整座城市陷入危險之中。

Now, the weather is changing. The rain is coming to the north. The temperature in Delhi and Chandigarh will go down. It will feel cooler soon.

現在天氣正在改變。降雨正向北移動。德里和錢德加爾的溫度將會下降，很快就會感覺涼爽一些。

North India is finally getting rain after the heat. West India is still cleaning up the floods.

北印度在經歷高溫後終於迎來降雨。西印度則仍在清理水災後的殘局。

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported that the southwest monsoon arrived late in northern India. This delay happened at the same time as heavy rains in Maharashtra and a general lack of rainfall across the country.

印度氣象局 (IMD) 報告指出，西南季風在北印度抵達較晚。此次延遲與馬哈拉施特拉邦的強降雨以及全國範圍內的降雨不足同時發生。

The monsoon reached the Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Punjab regions later than usual, arriving on July 1 instead of late June. Experts emphasized that this delay was caused by several weather factors, such as the influence of El Niño and a lack of low-pressure systems. Consequently, June was one of the driest months in 125 years. This lack of rain, combined with extreme heat in Delhi, has led to a 23% decrease in crop planting, which may reduce the harvest of pulses and oilseeds.

季風抵達哈里亞納邦、錢迪加爾、德里和旁遮普地區的時間比平時晚，是在 7 月 1 日而非 6 月底抵達。專家強調，此次延遲是由多項天氣因素引起，例如聖嬰現象的影響以及缺乏低壓系統。因此，6 月成為 125 年來最乾燥的月份之一。降雨不足加上德里的極端高溫，導致作物種植量下降 23%，這可能會減少豆類和油籽的收成。

In contrast, the western coast experienced very heavy rainfall. Mumbai and nearby areas were placed under a red alert because some districts received over 100 mm of rain in one day. These heavy rains caused flooding in low-lying urban areas and damaged railway power lines. Despite these local floods, the IMD predicts that July rainfall will reach about 94% of the long-term average, meaning there will still be a slight shortage of rain.

相比之下，西海岸經歷了極其沉重的降雨。孟買及周邊地區被列入紅色警報，因為部分地區單日降雨量超過 100 毫米。這些強降雨導致低窪城市地區淹水，並損壞了鐵路電線。儘管發生局部洪水，IMD 預測 7 月的降雨量將達到長期平均值的 94% 左右，意味著仍將略微缺雨。

Current forecasts suggest that rainfall patterns are becoming more organized. In the tricity area, a yellow alert was issued after radar detected storm clouds, and temperatures are expected to drop. Similarly, Delhi's temperature is projected to fall to 32-34°C by Friday. Furthermore, new weather systems are expected to increase rainfall across northwest India during early July.

目前的預測顯示，降雨模式正變得更加有規律。在三城地區，雷達偵測到風暴雲後發布了黃色警報，預計氣溫將下降。同樣地，德里的氣溫預計到週五將降至 32-34°C。此外，預計 7 月初新的天氣系統將增加印度西北地區的降雨量。

The monsoon has finally entered northern India after a period of extreme heat and dry weather, while western regions continue to deal with severe flooding.

在經歷一段時間的極端高溫與乾燥天氣後，季風終於進入北印度，而西方地區則繼續應對嚴重淹水問題。

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has documented the delayed advancement of the southwest monsoon into northern India, coinciding with significant precipitation events in Maharashtra and a nationwide rainfall deficit.

印度氣象局 (IMD) 記錄到西南季風進入北印度的時間有所延遲，同時馬哈拉施特拉邦出現顯著的降水事件，而全國範圍內則出現降雨不足。

The progression of the southwest monsoon into the Haryana-Chandigarh-Delhi and Punjab regions has been characterized by a temporal lag. While the monsoon typically penetrates these areas by late June, its arrival was deferred until July 1. This delay is attributed to a complex interplay of meteorological factors, including the absence of low-pressure systems in June, the influence of El Niño in the central and eastern tropical Pacific, a neutral Indian Ocean Dipole, and an unfavorable phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation. Consequently, June was the fifth-driest in 125 years, with Chandigarh recording a 75% rainfall deficit. This moisture deficiency, coupled with temperatures exceeding normal parameters—exemplified by a peak heat index of 53.5°C in Delhi—has resulted in a 23% reduction in kharif sowing acreage, posing a risk to pulse and oilseed yields.

西南季風進入哈里亞納邦-錢德加爾-德里及旁遮普地區的進展呈現時間上的滯後。雖然季風通常在六月下旬便進入這些地區，但此次抵達時間被推遲至七月一日。此延遲歸因於複雜的氣象因素共同作用，包括六月缺乏低壓系統、中東太平洋熱帶地區聖嬰現象的影響、中性的印度洋偶極子，以及馬登-朱利安振盪 (MJO) 處於不利相位。因此，今年六月為 125 年來第五乾的六月，錢德加爾的降雨量缺口達 75%。這種水分缺乏，加上溫度超過正常參數（例如德里最高熱指數達到 53.5°C），導致秋季作物 (kharif) 播種面積減少 23%，對豆類和油籽產量構成風險。

Conversely, the western coast has experienced high-intensity precipitation. Mumbai and adjacent districts were placed under a red alert as several areas recorded over 100 mm of rainfall within a 24-hour window, with Mankhurd reaching 170.4 mm. These events precipitated urban flooding in low-lying sectors, such as the Andheri subway, and disrupted rail infrastructure via overhead wire failure. Despite these localized surges, the IMD projects that July rainfall will aggregate to approximately 94% of the long-period average, indicating a continued, albeit moderated, deficit.

相反地，西海岸經歷了高強度降雨。孟買及鄰近地區被列入紅色警報，因多個地區在 24 小時內錄得超過 100 毫米降雨，其中 Mankhurd 達到 170.4 毫米。這些事件導致低窪地區（如 Andheri 地道）發生城市淹水，並因架空電線故障而導致鐵路基礎設施中斷。儘管有這些局部激增，IMD 預計七月總降雨量將約為長期平均值的 94%，顯示降雨不足的情況將持續，儘管程度有所緩解。

Regional forecasts indicate a transition toward organized monsoon rainfall. In the tricity area, a Nowcast Yellow Alert was issued following the detection of convective cells via Doppler radar, with temperatures expected to decline from 40°C to between 36-38°C. Similarly, Delhi is projected to experience a temperature reduction to 32-34°C by Friday as the monsoon advances. A fresh western disturbance and an upper air cyclonic circulation are expected to further enhance precipitation across northwest India through early July.

區域預報顯示，降雨將轉向有組織的季風雨。在三城地區，由於多普勒雷達偵測到對流單元，當局發布了即時預報黃色警報，預計溫度將從 40°C 下降至 36-38°C 之間。同樣地，隨著季風推進，德里預計到週五溫度將降至 32-34°C。一場新的西風擾動及高空氣旋環流預計將在七月初進一步增加北印度的降雨量。

The monsoon has now entered northern India following a period of extreme thermal stress and precipitation deficits, while western regions continue to manage acute flooding.

季風在經歷一段極端熱壓力及降雨不足期後，現已進入北印度，而西方地區則繼續處理嚴重的淹水問題。
