Due to the prevalence of continued dry weather, the maximum temperature may further rise beyond and may settle near 37-38°C. However, a trough is seen extending from Uttarakhand to Northeast Bay of Bengal across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Hence, localized rainfall activity may be a chance.
The monthly average rainfall for Delhi as per the Safdarjung Observatory stands at 187.3 mm and till date, Delhi has recorded 59 mm of rainfall. In a way, it is yet a wait and watch situation if Delhi manages to surpass its monthly mean.
