The Western Disturbance is now seen as an upper air trough over North Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir. The low-level circulation continues to persist over West Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas. The deep depression which is prevailing over Jharkhand is providing ample moisture due to which mainly eastern parts of Delhi are being affected.
In fact, in a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday, light spells of rains were observed over most parts of Delhi including the Palam observatory that has recorded 0.5 mm of showers. During the similar time frame, Safdarjung observatory in the National capital has recorded 0.2 mm of rains, followed by Ayanagar 0.7 mm and Ridge 0.2 mm of rains.
As of now, we expect light rains to continue for next 24 hours as well. Temperatures are also expected to fall and cloudy sky is likely over the region. However, humidity levels will remain on the higher side.
Normally, Delhi receives good Monsoon rains throughout the month of August and up till mid-September. This year as well, we expect on and off showers to continue over the areas till the middle of September. Thereafter, rains will withdraw from the region.
Owing to the movement of the Western Disturbance in last 24 hours, many parts of northwest plains like North and East Rajasthan and parts of Haryana have witnessed light rains. Churu recorded 8 mm of rains, followed by Sri Ganganagar 7 mm and Hisar 6 mm of rainfall.
However, as the Western Disturbance is moving away and mostly dry weather is expected over Rajasthan, most parts of Punjab and Haryana during next 24 hours.
