After witnessing light rains on both Friday and Saturday, Delhiites are once again reeling under dry and humid weather conditions. After giving a sigh of relief from the humid Delhi weather, rains have once again vanished from the capital of the country and its adjoining regions.
In fact, in terms of rain, the month of August has not remained very constructive and since the beginning of the month, Delhi and NCR has mainly recorded some moderate showers only. In the last 24 hours also, Delhi and adjoining Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad were mainly dry that resulted in the maximums to scale up once again.
Within the span of the last 24 hours, both the Safdarjung and Palam Observatory failed to record any traces of rains. The temperatures across both these observatories also shot up to settle at 35.6 degrees and 35.9 degree Celsius. While the mercury levels the day before were under 30 degrees.

As per Skymet Weather, the rains that occurred in Delhi and NCR on Saturday were due to the southward shifting of the axis of Monsoon trough from the foothills of Himalayas. But due to the development of a Well-Marked Low-Pressure Area over Maharashtra, the transition of the weather was fast paced.
However, now the axis of Monsoon trough is expected to remain south of Delhi and easterly and southeasterly winds will continue over Delhi and NCR therefore, humidity levels will remain high. Though isolated patchy rains may occur in some parts of Delhi and NCR.
But these rains will be highly localized and will be due to the available moisture in the atmosphere. Possibilities of continuous rains for a long duration covering larger portion of the city is not anticipated until the next 1 week.
