The month of March marks the arrival of summers for plains of North India including for Delhi-NCR. The temperatures of Delhi during March usually settle under 30°C as the average monthly maximum temperature of the city stands at 29.6°C.
However, this has not been the case so far, as the national capital and the adjoining areas of Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Haryana have been recording above normal temperatures at a stretch. The temperatures were witnessing new heights, settling above the 35-degree mark, and even reached 37.5°C on March 14.
March 22 was the only day where in the city recorded normal day maximum to the tune of 31°C. In fact, March 23 also saw the maximums settling at around 30°C. This drop was because of cool winds blowing straight from the snow-clad Himalayas.

Although the city also experiences a fair amount of rainfall in the month, even rains have remained at a bay so far. Weathermen were predicting some weather activity for a day or two but that also resulted only in some traces of rains that occurred on March 21.
Though this is not new for the city, as the city has even neared and surpassed the 40-degree mark on a few occasions during March. No relief is in offing as the temperatures, which saw a marginal drop during the last 24 hours, are all set to rise by 3-5 degrees again in span of next 2-3 days.
As per Skymet Weather, as the Western Disturbance is moving away eastwards, the northerly-northwesterly dry winds are likely to blow over the region due to which this rise would occur.
However, there might not be major changes in the morning temperatures, but the day will be windy.
Thus, by March 27, a sudden increase in the maximum temperatures by 2-3 degree Celsius can be anticipated. The maximum temperatures may also reach and settle in the bracket of 37 to 38 degrees Celsius that are at present near 30-31°C.
The weather would continue to remain dry and warm. Bright sunny sky would prevail over Delhi and NCR.
