As a result, the winds had also changed the direction and humid easterly winds were replaced by dry winds from the northwest. Thus, rains have reduced since last two days, but isolated lights rains were also observed in some parts of Delhi on Wednesday.
In wake of this, the weather is expected to remain hot and humid during the next three to four days. The maximum temperature in Delhi which settled at 36.5°C as on July 4 is likely to witness an increase and settle around 38°C.
