Delhi-NCR Weather: Light Rain Expected As IMD Forecasts Showers Across North India

Delhi is likely to experience cloudy skies and intermittent light rain this week, while air quality remained largely in the moderate category on Wednesday.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds across several parts of the country.

Delhi may record a maximum of 33°C and a minimum of 26°C. Safdarjung and Palam recorded light rain, while favourable monsoon conditions may bring more showers.

The active monsoon trough is likely to keep skies cloudy and temperatures relatively pleasant.

While showers could cause localised waterlogging and traffic disruptions, the IMD has not indicated any major severe weather threat for Delhi at present.

The forecast follows heavy rainfall across Delhi-NCR on August 25, which caused waterlogging in several areas and disrupted traffic.

The IMD had issued a Yellow Alert for heavy rain in the capital.
