Delhi Experiences Monsoon Relief with Rain Forecast Until July 17

Delhi Weather Update

Delhi Weather Update: After enduring weeks of extreme summer heat, the monsoon has finally arrived in the national capital. The rainfall has helped clear the streets of pollutants, leading to an improvement in air quality. However, the cooler temperatures have brought some challenges, as heavy rains in Delhi-NCR have resulted in waterlogging in various locations. Residents can expect some respite from the oppressive heat and humidity, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts that rain will persist until July 17.

With the monsoon in full effect, the weather department anticipates a predominantly overcast sky over Delhi. From July 12 to 17, light to moderate rain, along with thunderstorms and lightning, is expected to impact the city. Additionally, temperatures are forecasted to stay below 35 degrees Celsius, offering a refreshing change from the usual humidity.

The increase in rainfall is linked to a western disturbance and a trough. According to the latest announcement from the IMD, "The monsoon trough at mean sea level extends from Bikaner, Sikar, Shivpuri, Siddhi, Jamshedpur, Contai, and then southeastward to the northeast Bay of Bengal." The department also noted, "The upper air cyclonic circulation over Haryana and surrounding areas is now positioned over Punjab and its vicinity at altitudes between 1.5 and 3.1 km above mean sea level."

Precautionary Measures

• Check for traffic congestion on your route before departing.


• Adhere to official traffic advisories issued for the area.


• Avoid traveling to frequently waterlogged areas.


• Steer clear of staying in structures that are vulnerable to flooding.
