After a spell of good rains and dust storm activities last week, the residents of Delhi are now bracing for hot weather ahead. Dry weather conditions are prevailing since last five days over the national capital Delhi and neighborhood areas such as Ghaziabad, Noida, Gurugram and Faridabad.
At present, winds are blowing over the city from northwesterly direction. These winds are dry and warm in nature, thus making the temperatures rise continuously over the area.
According to weathermen, only some feeble Western Disturbances can be seen moving across the higher latitudes one after the other. Apart from this, no significant weather system is in sight as of now. Hence, temperatures would continue to rise over Delhi and NCR areas for the next few days. The mercury might reach 40 degree Celsius in the next 2 days itself, marking the return of heat wave soon.
The sky conditions would remain mainly clear. Surface winds are expected to be light in intensity. During the coming days, both day and night temperatures are expected to show a significant rise.
Due to rise in temperatures and mainly light winds, the pollution level is likely to further rise. Today only, the pollution has risen over the area as compared to the levels of yesterday.The air quality over Delhi NCR has deteriorated and now falls in 'moderate' category over most places i.e. Faridabad, Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad.
