Amritsar, July 24, 2025 — The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for rainfall in three northern districts of Punjab—Pathankot, Hoshiarpur, and Gurdaspur—amid ongoing monsoon activity in the neighboring state of Himachal Pradesh.
Despite scattered rainfall across many parts of Punjab on Wednesday, the state’s average maximum temperature rose by 3.4°C, nearing normal seasonal levels. Bathinda emerged as the hottest city, recording 36.5°C, followed by Patiala at 33.6°C, Ludhiana at 32.8°C, Gurdaspur at 31°C, and Amritsar at 30.9°C.
Gurdaspur: 57.2 mm
Ludhiana: 30.6 mm
Ferozepur: 16 mm
Pathankot: 7.5 mm
Amritsar: 4.8 mm
Hoshiarpur: 4 mm
Mohali: 2 mm
The yellow alert for moderate rain is limited to Pathankot, Hoshiarpur, and Gurdaspur, where weather conditions may remain unsettled through the day. For the rest of Punjab, no significant rainfall is expected until the weekend.
The IMD has forecasted that a new phase of rainfall will begin late on the night of July 27 or early July 28, with increased activity likely in Punjab’s northern and border districts due to monsoon currents from Himachal Pradesh. Other regions in Punjab may also experience scattered to moderate showers during this period.
Amritsar: Partly cloudy; no rain expected. Temperature range: 25°C to 30°C
Jalandhar: Partly cloudy; no rain expected. Temperature range: 25°C to 30°C
Ludhiana: Partly cloudy; no rain expected. Temperature range: 26°C to 31°C
Patiala: Partly cloudy; no rain expected. Temperature range: 27°C to 31°C
Mohali: Partly cloudy; slight chance of rain. Temperature range: 29°C to 30°C
Meteorologists predict stable weather for most of Punjab until the onset of the next monsoon wave this weekend. Residents, especially in the three alerted districts, are advised to stay updated with local weather advisories.
