As per Skymet Weather, at present, the Axis of Monsoon trough can be seen running south of Delhi. However, it is expected that this trough would shift slightly northwards over Delhi. This would, in turn, bring in some light to moderate rains over Delhi and its adjoining areas of Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad today.
Moreover, these rains are expected to continue for at least the next four to five days. However, Skymet Weather rules out any possibility of heavy showers during this time. Only a short spell of intense showers can be anticipated. The weather would remain cloudy and comfortable for the next few days. This would surely give the much-awaited and needed respite from the prevailing warm and humid weather.
