This time, the heat did not increase during the days of Nautapa in Punjab. According to the report of the Meteorological Department, with the change in weather in various districts in the past few days, the average maximum temperature has been recorded 2.1 degrees Celsius below normal. On June 2, 2025, the maximum temperature in Bathinda was 42.7 degrees Celsius.
Even today, the maximum temperature was recorded between 36 to 38 degrees in many parts of the state. At the same time, yellow and orange alerts have been issued regarding rain in 16 districts of the state today. During this time, there will be rain, as well as strong winds and dust storms can also occur. At the same time, 9 days of Nautapa have been completed with June 2.
This season, there was not a single day of heat in Punjab. However, astrologers believe that it may affect the monsoon. They say that if there is no intense heat during Nautapa, then the rainy season may be weak. This can have a direct impact on reservoirs and agriculture.
According to the Meteorological Center Chandigarh, the temperature dropped by an average of 1.3 degrees on Monday. There was no rain anywhere, and the weather remained dry in most districts. Dry weather is expected in the coming days.
Due to less rainfall last year, the condition of the dams supplying water to Punjab, Himachal and Rajasthan had reached a worrying level. However, there is no concern about the water crisis at the moment. The total capacity of six large reservoirs located in the major states of North India – Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Rajasthan is 18.01 billion cubic meters.
According to the Central Water Commission, as of June 1, 2025, a total of 15.96 billion cubic meters of water is present in them, which is about 89% of the total capacity. This situation is not only better than last year, but also more than the average storage of the last 10 years.
It is clear from this that there is enough water available for needs like drinking water, irrigation, and power generation. Last year at this time, the storage was 76% and the average of the last 10 years was 77%.
