The Capital city, Delhi and its adjoining areas have been receiving fairly widespread rain and thundershower activities. Due to these weather activities, the pollution level of Delhi and NCR has improved significantly.
The overall AQI of Delhi and its adjoining areas of Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurugram as of today is just 69. And, many parts of the capital city are in ‘satisfactory’ to ‘good’ category. Thus, clearly, we can say it as Delhiites are breathing the cleanest air of this year so far.
During the last 24 hours, Safdarjung observatory of Delhi has recorded the second-highest rain in last one decade of 20.4 mm. Whereas, on March 2, 2015, the city observed 56.8 mm of rainfall in a span of 24 hours. Similarly, old record for 24 hours of rainfall data for Delhi in the month of March was 62.2 mm that was recorded on March 11, 1915.
At present, a Western Disturbance is persisting over Ladakh. Its induced Cyclonic Circulation is over West Rajasthan. Also, a trough is extending up to East India. Due to the presence of significant weather systems, we expect more good rains in the region of Delhi and NCR today. These on and off rainfall activities are expected to continue by the late-night hours of today. Rains will further help in maintaining the overall AQI of Delhi in ‘satisfactory’ category.
The weather is likely to become clear tomorrow onwards. But, the remnants of the above-mentioned weather systems will lead to partly cloudy sky conditions. Also, isolated patchy rain and thundershowers cannot be ruled out tomorrow as well.
As per the weather models at Skymet weather, we expect another fresh spell of fairly widespread rain and thundershowers in Delhi and NCR on March 11 and 12.
This fresh spell will be due to the approach of another fresh Western Disturbance over the Western Himalayas. Meanwhile, the impact of this weather system will be seen over the plains of North India at the same time.
