The maximum temperature also dropped by 8 to 10 degrees during the showers, which made the weather extremely pleasant in the capital. It however, rose marginally to settle around 28 degrees Celsius in the evening. The weather in Delhi is expected to remain the same for the next 48 hours, with some occasional showers in between.
According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, this could be a precursor to the arrival of Monsoon in Delhi.
Rain in Delhi in June was deficit by about 30%. The city received 46.8 mm of rain against an average of 77 mm during the month, which clearly shows how dry Delhi has been in June. And with an El Nino dominating the Monsoon in India this year, the average monthly rainfall of 214 mm in the month of July looks hard to be attained.
