Monsoon to revisit Delhi? Not really

Delhi rainAccording to some recent newspaper reports, monsoon is to revisit Delhi this week. The monsoon winds are to return from Rajasthan this week which indicates withdrawal of monsoon from the state. This does not mean that the monsoon has withdrawn form entire northwest India also (Delhi/ west UP/ Punjab/haryana). So there are no indications of the monsoon revisiting Delhi.

According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India the western end of the monsoon trough has become less marked and shifted close to the foothills. There is no chance of any monsoon system (low pressure or depression) travelling up to northwest India and resulting in any significant monsoon rainfall in these parts.

However, the passage of any Western Disturbance (WD) can still cause some rains over the hilly states of North India, foothills and adjoining regions including Delhi NCR. The model forecast does suggest such activity around the weekend wherein the foothills of North India and Delhi-NCR could experience light rain or cloudy conditions.

In the remaining days of this month or even later any such activity will happen as a result of WD or local conditions and not because of any monsoonal systems which originate in the bay of Bengal.

Meanwhile, the maximum temperature in Delhi will be a little warm and settle in the mid thirties, while the minimums will hover around 25 degrees Celsius during the next 5 days. The wind direction will be mainly West-Northwesterly which will lead to increase in dryness and drop in night temperatures. There is a chance that the wind direction may change to East-Southeasterlies over the weekend which will lead to increase in humidity levels.
