The last time Delhiites enjoyed a drizzle was on July 6, after which the weather went on to become dry and the forecast predicted that it is most likely to remain dry.
Delhi experienced heavy off-season showers from mid June till the beginning of July and kept playing hide and seek with the locals. Even before the Southwest monsoon could hit, Delhi NCR was enjoying pre-monsoon showers. But soon after the monsoon's arrival in Delhi NCR, the rain has been holding itself back. The hot and humid weather has taken over.
The last time Delhiites enjoyed a drizzle was on July 6, after which the weather went on to become dry and the forecast predicted that it is most likely to remain dry.
The showers that had settled the heat and had held the temperature at 31°C, rose to 35°C.
As per Skymet, for the next two days, the weather is going to remain unpredictable. The westerly winds will prevail over Delhi NCR. In consideration of the same, dry weather is going to prevail over Delhi and the neighbouring areas of Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurugram.
Due to the dry weather, it is predicted that the temperature may rise and settle around 37°C-38°C. However, a trough has been seen extending from Uttarakhand to Northeast Bay of Bengal across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Hence, there is a chance of localised rainfall activity, that might bring relief to the national capital.
The monthly average rainfall for Delhi as per Safdarjung Observatory stands at 187.3 mm. Till date, although Delhi has recorded 59 mm of rainfall, the forecasters explain that it is yet a wait and watch situation. We will have to wait to see if Delhi manages to transcend its monthly average.
Meanwhile, Delhiites await the rains with impatience, hoping it would prove to be a relief for them from the scorching heat. There might be a spin in the weather, where the rain would help in reducing the temperature.
