Flood-Hit Punjab Gets Short Relief as Heavy Rains Ease in the Last 24 Hours

Chandigarh, September 5, 2025 — After days of unrelenting downpours, residents of flood-hit Punjab finally got a brief respite as rainfall eased over the past 24 hours, offering much-needed relief to weary communities.

Temporary Respite; Underlying Crisis Continues

Authorities and weather officials noted marginal improvement in conditions. However, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh remain severely impacted, with continued excess rainfall and flash flooding reported. The long monsoon season has brought North India close to recording its second-wettest spell in half a century, with an overall rain surplus of 37%.

Regional Flood Impact

Punjab, along with neighboring states, has borne the brunt of this intense monsoon season. While the present lull offers temporary relief, forecasters warn isolated heavy showers will likely occur again later this week. The risk of renewed flooding remains, especially in low-lying and previously inundated zones.
