These weather conditions have been attributed to the axis of Monsoon trough which is running through Delhi. Thus, due to this, rainfall activity has increased due to moisture incursion over the region further resulting in cloud development.
As per weathermen at Skymet Weather, patchy rains are expected to continue over Delhi and the NCR region during the next 24 hours. Thereafter, rainfall intensity is expected to reduce from the national capital.
