Delhi Weather Update: Clouds will shower on this day in Delhi-NCR, relief from humidity expected

Delhi-NCR residents are struggling with sticky heat and high humidity, eagerly awaiting monsoon rains for relief from the scorching weather.

New Delhi: While the monsoon has knocked in the hilly states and torrential rains have disrupted life, people in the plains are yearning for rain. Although moderate rain is falling in sporadic areas, people are not getting any relief from the heat.

According to the Dynamite News correspondent, however, there is relief news for the people of Delhi-NCR in the meantime. According to the IMD, the weather will remain pleasant for the next week, and there will be continuous light rain.

There is a possibility of rain with thunder and lightning from July 3 to July 7. Weather forecasting agency Skymet Weather says that July is the second rainiest month in Delhi after August.

Monsoon rainfall in Delhi mainly depends on the monsoon trough (line of low pressure), which generally goes from Ganganagar to Kolkata and remains in the south near Delhi.

Currently this trough is connecting two cyclonic circulations located at both ends of the country. One circulation is located over central and south Rajasthan, while the other circulation is the remnant of the old low-pressure area formed over Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. As the eastern circulation moves westward, it will continue to move in a north-south direction along with the trough.

According to the Meteorological Department, the weather system will be more favorable for Delhi on Saturday and Sunday (July 5-6), which will lead to good rains. This rainy activity may also continue till the beginning of next week. Persistent clouds and intermittent rains between July 5 and 9 will bring down the temperature, providing relief from the heat.

The Meteorological Department has also predicted very heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan in the next six to seven days. Monsoon will remain active in many parts of northwest, central, and east India during this period.

Relief from pollution

Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 83 on Wednesday, which is at a satisfactory level. The AQI was also satisfactory in Ghaziabad (86), Greater Noida (100), Gurugram (53), and Noida (79).

The pollution level is expected to remain satisfactory for the next few days (July 3-5), while after July 6 it may remain between satisfactory and normal levels. The wind speed is expected to be 8-10 km/h on Thursday and 10-20 km/h on Friday-Saturday.

Monsoon weakens in South India

Monsoon is active at a good pace in the eastern, central, western, and northern parts of the country these days. Above-average rainfall has been recorded in most subdivisions of northwest and central India.

But if we talk about southern peninsular India, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Lakshadweep are witnessing a lack of seasonal rainfall.

The surplus rainfall that occurred earlier in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka is now gradually ending. No major monsoon activity has been seen in these areas for the last 10 days, and this situation may persist in the coming days as well.
