Rain in Delhi is always a possibility whenever a Western Disturbance (low pressure area formed in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean) passes through the Western Himalayan Region. As a Western Disturbance is approaching Jammu & Kashmir, the possibility of rain arises again from Saturday night onwards.
Weather in Delhi will change for a short while from Saturday evening, as the skies will turn partly cloudy. Wind conditions will also change during the effect of the Western Disturbance. A marginal fall in day and rise in night temperatures could be expected during the next 48 hours.
At least, five air-cyclonic circulations are being observed in the country. One rests over east Rajasthan and adjoining west Madhya Pradesh and there is a chance of rain at one or two places in these areas during the next 24 to 48 hours. Madhya Pradesh is also hosting the other cyclonic circulation in its central parts but chances of rain are less in these parts due to unavailability of moisture.
The cyclonic circulation over east Bihar and adjoining east Uttar Pradesh will continue to bring rain in Jharkhand, Orissa and northern parts of Chhattisgarh during the next two days. A trough of low pressure areas runs from this weather system up till Tamil Nadu. It could give showers over western parts of this system in north Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
The cyclonic circulation over Meghalaya and adjoining parts of Assam will continue to bring rain at a few places over sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura over a span of two days.
