As the monsoon season keeps its capricious trend in India, several states are preparing for more showers today, July 11. While some areas are experiencing heavy rains causing tougher situations, others are yet to see major rainfall, which is a cause of concern for agricultural fields.

Delhi And Uttar Pradesh Weather Outlook

New Delhi is likely to witness rain with thunderstorms today, but no severe warnings have been sounded by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for the city.
