MUMBAI – The maximum and minimum temperatures in Delhi have been below normal in the last few days due to a continuous spell of rainfall. However, the intensity and spread of rainfall have declined over the city this week, and dry weather is likely to persist for the next one week, private weather forecasting agency Skymet said. As such, temperatures in the capital city are also expected to rise, the weather agency said.
The maximum temperature recorded at the Safdarjung weather station on Saturday was 27.6 degrees Celsius, the lowest day temperature in September in the last four years, the weather agency said. The Palam Observatory in Delhi had recorded a maximum of 27.2 degrees Celsius Saturday. These day temperatures were 6–7 degrees below normal.
The low pressure area over southwest Uttar Pradesh is moving eastward and is likely to reach central parts of the state in the next 24 hours. The weather system will extend its reach to cover parts of Bihar in the subsequent 24 hours, the weather agency said. The monsoon trough, which was maintaining proximity to Delhi, resulting in heavy rainfall, has now shifted north of the capital city. Consequently, no significant weather activity is likely till Thursday. While local heating and the leftover moisture in the air could trigger some shallow clouds and cause a few light and passing showers in isolated pockets, it is unlikely to impact the rise in temperatures, the agency said.
