New Delhi, Monday, July 2 The already delayed Monsoon may still be a week away from the northwestern parts of the country but people in Delhi have started to experience humid and sultry conditions.
High humidity and unrelenting temperatures are making Delhiites sweat more and feeling a bit thirstier too. This sudden rise in humidity levels in the air is attributed to strengthening of southeasterly winds containing moisture reaching Delhi and weakening of dry and hot northwesterly winds.
Temperatures may take a dip in the capital in the coming days due to the weakening of dry and hot northwesterly winds but humidity will soar, making life uneasy and uncomfortable under the prevalence of moisture laden winds.
Southeasterly winds would bring down the temperatures, currently in the forties while their mixing with dry and hot northwesterly winds would create instability in the atmosphere. Such instability may lead to chances of thunderstorm in and around Delhi.
Delhi is anticipated to receive pre-monsoon showers by July 5 while the rainfall may intensify by July 8, prompting monsoon to be announced here. The showers may bring in some respite after a humid and sultry week.
