Rain in Delhi NCR makes weather pleasant, more showers on Thursday
Rain and thundershowers have finally made their way to Delhi-NCR, making the weather pleasant. Several areas such as R K Puram, Green Park, Saket, Mehrauli, Vasant Vihar, Vasant Kunj, Noida and Faridabad reported intense showers with lightning strikes that began around 9 pm on Tuesday.
These rains have pulled the mercury by several notches and at present, temperature is hovering around 35°C.
However, weathermen do not predict any impact on the day temperatures tomorrow. These pre-Monsoon rains usually occur in the late afternoon or evening hours, like today also. But by then, maximum temperatures have already peaked. Thus, these rains only bring momentary rainfall.
Further, conditions remain conducive for the rain and thundershowers to continue on Thursday as well. Dust storm is also likely over few places. But again, these activities will be around later afternoon or evening only.
Delhi Rains to visit, summer heat to subside
Delhi rains have been playing hide and seek with the residents of the national capital. For the past two to three days, the city has remained dry with rainfall activity on the lower side. In fact, temperatures are currently settling slightly above the normal levels.
In fact, the maximum in Delhi is around 38 degrees which is close to the normal levels. However, rain gods are expected to bestow some kindness over the residents.
On April 22, many parts of Delhi and the NCR region witnessed rain and thunderstorm activity along with isolated hailstorm as well. This was due to the then prevailing weather systems over the region.
Now, another fresh Western Disturbance is over the Western Himalayan region. Its induced cyclonic circulation has already formed over Central Pakistan, the system is expected to shift towards the east. Due to this, isolated dust storm and thunderstorm activity is expected over Delhi and the NCR region during the next 24 to 48 hours.
One or two moderate spells of rain cannot be ruled out over some parts of the city. However, these pre-Monsoon activities are expected to pick up pace around April 29 and 30.
As the weather conditions are favouarble, the possibility of rain and thunderstorm activity during late afternoon and evening hours cannot be ruled out. On and off thundery build up cannot be ruled out over the area. Temperatures are not expected to rise significantly until the end of the month. We do not expect heatwave to make a comeback.
