Weather experts said the combined impact of western disturbances and local weather systems is expected to keep temperatures under control and make conditions relatively pleasant.
Meteorologists said that strong winds and intermittent rainfall will help prevent extreme heat conditions in the region. While residents can expect relief from heatwave-like conditions, humid weather may persist in some areas.
Overall, cloud cover, rainfall, and gusty winds are expected to keep temperatures within the normal range and make weather conditions more comfortable across the NCR in the coming week.
