Why Rain is Important This Season
of the monsoon is important as it cools the temperatures, improves the quality of air by reducing the dust particles, recharges the ground water and supports agriculture across north India. Millions of residents have been sweltering under hot and humid conditions for weeks, so the rain is a welcome relief. But, the cities of Delhi-NCR are prone to temporary flooding in case of heavy downpour and hence preparedness is equally important.

Rainfall intensity will be different district to district and people should continue to watch the IMD advisories, the IMD said.
