The system is expected to blow over by Tuesday morning, but not before it drenches most of north and central India, as well as parts of the south, and dumps a few feet of fresh snow in the Himalayas.
"There was intermittent, heavy rainfall across large parts of the country on Sunday. Such widespread rain at this time of the year is not very common. The wet weather in north and central India will continue for at least another day," said BP Yadav, director, India Meteorological Department.
