Due to this widespread rainy spell over Delhi and NCR, the temperatures of many areas of the city has seen drop in both minimum and maximum by 3°C to 5°C. Today the temperature is expected to be around 24°C.
This rainfall prevailed due to three major weather systems affecting the region. The Western Disturbance is seen over Jammu and Kashmir. An induced cyclonic circulation is over Haryana and Punjab and a trough from this system up to West Uttar Pradesh.
Delhi is expected to witness very less rainfall today and the spread is likely to be in NCR especially over Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas. This rainfall over the National Capital means that Delhi will be celebrating Holi in cool weather. Post tomorrow, there is a gradual rise in both minimum and maximum temperatures expected up to March 16.
