The weather in Delhi would be dry and temperatures would rise gradually for next few days. Warmth would be felt once the winds slow down in the next two days as the heating effect will rise under an open sky and proper sunshine. By the start of next week, day temperatures in Delhi will be around 36 degrees.

Westerly to northwesterly winds are entering from the West coast and taking a southwesterly turn to blow over Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and then towards Orissa and Bay of Bengal to northeastern states in a southwest direction.

A trough of low pressure area (region of intensified moist winds) runs from Orissa to Tamil Nadu across Andhra Pradesh and another one extends from Assam to north Bay of Bengal. Northeastern states will have rain at a few places during the next 48 hours while there will be some rain at one or two places in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
