Delhi rains have remained far away from the national capital for a few days. To top it all, pollution levels seemed to have increased and had slipped into the poor category about a day before.
Currently, the western end of the axis of Monsoon trough is passing over the foothills of the Himalayas across Jammu Kashmir, North Punjab, North Haryana and northern parts of Uttar Pradesh. Due to which, westerly winds are prevailing over Haryana, Delhi region.
However, Rajasthan region, which has been observing dry and very warm conditions, is seeing southwesterly dust laden winds. These winds have been having an effect over the city of Delhi as well.
Due to presence of local smoke, and in association with this dust, the pollution levels have increased during the last few days. However, relief seems in sight as during the next 24 hours, the axis of Monsoon trough is likely to shift southwards, close to Delhi as a low pressure will form over Northwest Bay of Bengal.
During the shifting of Monsoon trough, light rain and thundershowers may be seen over some parts of Delhi. Sky conditions will remain cloudy.
Due to these rains, pollution levels are likely to see an improvement. Some rainfall activity is expected over the city of Delhi around August 7 and 8 as well.
