New Delhi: Residents of Delhi and the National Capital Region are likely to face hotter and more humid conditions over the next five days, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting only isolated light rain and no major weather warning.
The weather department has maintained a “no warning” status for the entire week. Although brief spells of rain or thunderstorms may occur at isolated locations, widespread or heavy rainfall is not expected.
