Generally, monsoon enters Uttarakhand at the end of June and departs at the end of September. But, in the last few years, this sequence has moved forward a bit. Monsoon season is considered from June 1 to September 30. However, now the monsoon has started being active till the first or second week of October as well. This time also the departure of monsoon from the country has not started yet.

For the last three years, monsoon has left the state in October. However, before that, it was confirmed that monsoon would leave by the end of September. According to Rohit Thapliyal, scientist of Meteorological Centre, rainfall is expected to remain slow in most of the areas of Uttarakhand for the next few days. However, there may be rain at some places in between. There is no hope of any change in the weather till the end of this month. Monsoon is expected to leave by the first week of October.
