Delhi-NCR woke up to cloudy skies and light showers, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting more rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds for the next two days. The region is likely to experience relief from heat and humidity as temperatures are expected to drop by 5-6 degrees Celsius. The recent rainfall has already provided some respite from the oppressive weather conditions.
The monsoon activity is anticipated to continue, with light to moderate rainfall expected in various areas of the National Capital Region. Despite receiving slightly below-average rainfall for July so far, experts believe the shortfall may be compensated in the remaining days of the month. The IMD has issued a yellow alert for Delhi and neighboring NCR cities, including Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad.
The weather change follows recent showers in Delhi that helped alleviate the prevailing humidity. The city had been experiencing discomfort due to high humidity levels, with temperatures feeling much hotter than they actually were. The IMD’s yellow alert warns of thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds in different districts of Delhi. The monsoon trough’s proximity to Delhi is expected to enhance rainfall activity in the region throughout the week.
