Delhi rains likely to visit today, showers possible tomorrow

After playing hide and seek for a long time, Delhi rains once again visited the national capital and adjoining regions on July 17 and since then, on and off showers have kept on occurring over Delhi and NCR. In fact, at present also, cloudy sky is hovering over Delhi and NCR and isolated light spells are likely almost any time now.

Though the intensity of these rains was mainly light in nature, these rains did prove beneficial for the Delhiites in bringing the much-needed respite from the prevailing sultry weather. The temperatures that were settling at a scorching 38-39°C plunged to settle at a good 34-36 degree bracket.

In fact, a few parts of Delhi and the nearby areas such as Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad witnessed light spells yesterday as well. In a span of the last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Sunday, Delhi’s Safdarjung Observatory recorded 14.6 mm of rains, Palam Observatory witnessed 12.4 mm while Ridge Observatory also recorded light rains of 12.2 mm.

The reason for these rains in parts of Delhi and NCR as per Skymet Weather can be attributed to the axis of Monsoon trough that is passing through Jaisalmer to the northeast Bay of Bengal. In the wake of this, Delhi recorded light rainy spells that are likely to continue for another two days.

Skymet Weather predicts similar weather to continue in Delhi with chances of isolated rains for the coming two days. Thereafter, the Monsoon trough will shift towards north thereby resulting in the rain intensity to increase by July 27 or 28. However, despite these rains, humid weather will still be prevalent over the capital of the country and its adjoining regions.
