Showers during this period could be spread evenly unlike the patchy nature we have been observing all through the Monsoon season. This spell of rain is likely to prevail till the 8th of August.
Meanwhile, the city again observed light rain. In a span of 24 hours from 8.30 am on Tuesday the Safdarjung Observatory recorded 2.2 mm of rain, Ridge 7.2 mm, Pitampura 3 mm, Pusa 2 mm and Jafarpur 2mm. There has been rain on all first three days of September with heaviest being 36 mm, on 1st September.
Persistent moderate south easterly winds coupled with some good rain are keeping the temperatures in Delhi and its adjoining areas under check. The Safdarjung observatory recorded 34.4°C as the maximum temperature on Tuesday, while the minimum settled at 26°C, which are normal temperatures.
Since the last few days the sky has mostly been overcast, with clouds drifting fast and giving passing showers in the city. The temperatures have consistently recorded close to the normal average of 34°C. The weather is going to remain the same for another 4-5 days.
