Delhi and the adjoining regions witnessed a glimpse of rainy traces during the late evening hours yesterday and all eyes in Delhi-NCR were set to witness some more showers. Rain gods also did not upset the Delhiites and the morning showers today once again lit hopes of good Monsoon rains.
However, not many showers were recorded by both the observatories. While the Safdarjung and Ridge Observatory recorded light traces of 0.1 mm each, the Palam Observatory did not record any spells. Taking the recent rainy spells into consideration, the Safdarjung Observatory so far has recorded a total of 84.6 mm of rains while the average monthly target for the same stands at a whopping 187.3 mm.

As far as surpassing its monthly mean is concerned, it is yet a wait and watch situation if Delhi will surpass the monthly target or not. However, as against the monthly target of 174.4 mm rains, the Palam Observatory has to still go a long way as it has just recorded 66.9 mm of rains as of now only.
However, the reason for the light traces of rains in Delhi and adjoining Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad can be associated with a Western Disturbance which is moving across North Jammu & Kashmir and the easterly moist winds have interacted with this Western Disturbance which has caused short spells in some parts of North India including Delhi and NCR.

As per Skymet Weather, at present, the trough line which was extending from West Rajasthan to northwest Bay of Bengal, the western arm of this trough is likely to shift towards the north as a well-marked low-pressure area has weakened into a low-pressure area and will gradually become insignificant.
At present also, parts of Delhi and adjoining regions are witnessing overcast sky and light patchy rains due to localized cloud development may occur in Delhi and NCR. The intensity of rains may see a slight increase in rains over Delhi and NCR after 24 hours.
