New Delhi, Tuesday, 17 July, After Pre-monsoon showers, temperature in northwest India had come down a bit, but scarcity of rain in the last few days has once again increased the mercury by two to four degree Celsius in the region.
Delhi witnessing five degrees above the normal temperature
There has been constant rise in temperature in the capital for the last few days with Tuesday recording 39 degree Celsius. It is almost five degree Celsius above the normal temperature of 33.7 degrees. Just after declaration of arrival of the monsoon, temperature was around 35 degrees but it has risen to 39 degrees in just few days.
There have been some isolated Thunder storm/showers in the region, but Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, west Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan are still three days away from moderate or heavy rain. So the trend of rise in temperature is likely to continue in this region during the next two to three days.
Rain likely after seventy-two hours
A cyclonic circulation developing in northwest Bay of Bengal is likely to increase rain in central India and a spill over of moisture laden southeasterly winds may reach northwest plains to give rain after seventy two hours.
