Delhi’s weather has become notorious and the Monsoon showers that Delhiites are eagerly waiting for has remained mainly absent from the capital of the country and its adjoining areas.
In fact, good rains that the city along with its adjoining regions had observed were on August 23 when Delhi recorded 38 mm of rains. Thereafter, the weather has once again gone on to become dry. Though some rains did occur in parts of Delhi and NCR in the last 24 hours these spells were short lived and were of very light intensity.
Within the span of the last 24 hours from 08:30 am as on Friday, Delhi’s Safdarjung Observatory recorded 3 mm of light spells. While the Palam Observatory recorded a good 26.8 mm of rains during the similar time frame.

As per Skymet Weather, the reason for these rainy spells in parts of Delhi and NCR can be attributed to the shift of the axis of Monsoon trough that has shifted further westward. This trough is presently seen running from Sri Ganganagar to east central Bay of Bengal across southwest Uttar Pradesh, northeast Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha.
As the axis of Monsoon trough has shifted south of Delhi, the rainfall activity is likely to reduce over Delhi and adjoining Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad after 24 hours. However, short spells will continue over the area. Due to the reduction in rains, the warm and humid weather will prevail. Temperatures will also remain marginally low.
