By August 19, the axis of monsoon trough that is currently running close to the foothills of Himalayas will shift towards Delhi. Moreover, the wind pattern will also change from dry westerly winds to humid easterlies.
In wake of this, we expect scattered rain and thundershowers over many parts of Delhi and NCR. These intermittent showers will continue for the next 3 to 4 days. During this period as well, humidity will increase significantly leading to uneasiness among the locals.
