Chandigarh: Punjab is currently grappling with a spike in temperatures following the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon, with the weather turning notably dry and warm across the region. With no rainfall expected in the coming days, residents are experiencing unusually hot conditions for this time of year.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the state is witnessing temperatures nearly 1.8°C above the seasonal average, highlighting a sharper-than-usual rise in heat post-monsoon. Mansa, one of the hottest spots in the state, registered a high of 37.2°C, which is well above normal for late September.

In addition to soaring daytime temperatures, minimum temperatures remain elevated, hovering 2-3°C higher than average. Nighttime lows across Punjab are currently in the 22–25°C range, contributing to the overall discomfort.

Meteorological experts suggest this warm spell is temporary. “The temperatures are expected to climb for the next two to three days, possibly increasing by another 2 degrees, but a gradual dip is anticipated starting September 29,” said an official from IMD. This change is expected to bring some respite from the persistent heat.

Despite the rise in temperatures, a noticeable drop in humidity has brought some comfort, especially during the evenings. The previously oppressive and muggy conditions have given way to drier air, offering at least partial relief to residents.

With no significant rainfall on the horizon and an ongoing warming trend, health officials advise citizens to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak afternoon hours.

As Punjab transitions fully into the post-monsoon period, all eyes are on the approaching cooler weather, which is expected to gradually take hold after the end of the month.
