Weather in Delhi to remain the same; rain to continue over east, central and NE

Drop in maximum temperature in Delhi by 4 degrees below the average temperature has come as a respite and the good news is that the same weather conditions are expected to prevail in Delhi for at least the next two to three days.

Unlike last week when day temperatures in Delhi registered above 40 degrees, the week ahead is going to be more pleasant due to the two weather systems. The first one is a Western Disturbance which is expected to affect the weather in north and northwest India from Wednesday onwards. The other weather system is the cyclonic circulation over northeast Rajasthan and parts of Haryana.

Due to these two weather systems, day temperatures in Delhi would not rise significantly thus warmth would not be as much as it was witnessed the last week. Chances of rain or thundery development are also forecast with strong winds after 24th of April, which will not let the temperature rise much.

Sky in Delhi will be partly cloudy on Monday to become mainly clear on Tuesday and Wednesday. Clouds would return on Thursday. Thursday onwards warmth in Delhi would return as sky will be open and winds would get slower towards the weekend for the temperature to rise during the day.

The cyclonic circulations over east, central and northeast India and the moist southeasterly winds from the Bay of Bengal would bring rain during the next two to three days.

A cyclonic circulation is hovering over adjoining areas of northeast Madhya Pradesh, southeast Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. The circulation will continue to fetch rains at one or two places over northeast Madhya Pradesh, southeast Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. The weather system is being fed moisture by the southeasterly winds from the Bay of Bengal.

A trough of low pressure area (region of intensified moist winds) from this cyclonic circulation is prevailing up to south Tamil Nadu across Andhra Pradesh. The weather system is expected to bring rain over north coastal Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala during the next two days. Moist winds from the Bay of Bengal will bring moisture for this weather system.

Another cyclonic circulation Meghalaya and nearby Assam and Arunachal Pradesh persists. This will continue to bring rainy clouds from the Bay of Bengal as winds in these parts are southwesterly.
