Monsoon Fury: Tricity Drowns Under Record Rainfall
Chandigarh and Mohali bore the brunt of an unexpected downpour on August 3, 2025, with unprecedented waterlogging disrupting daily life. Mohali recorded a staggering 41mm of rainfall, while Chandigarh received 39.4mm.
The deluge led to significant service disruptions across both cities, causing widespread inconvenience to residents. Reports of traffic snarls and submerged roads flooded social media.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued timely alerts warning of heavy rain and thunderstorms in the region. Despite the downpour, however, temperatures experienced a slight rise.
The IMD’s forecast predicts further rainfall in the coming five days, raising concerns about potential flooding and continued disruptions. Authorities are urged to take proactive measures to mitigate the impact of the impending showers.
This unexpected monsoon intensity underscores the need for improved urban infrastructure capable of withstanding extreme weather events, a growing concern amidst increasingly erratic weather patterns across the nation.
