Delhi Rain Forecast

Light to moderate rain and a hailstorm with winds gusting up to 50 kilometers per hour is predicted to lash northwest India, including Delhi, next week, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.

The air quality index (AQI) of Delhi was recorded in the 'very poor' category for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday morning, even as the weatherman has forecast light rain or drizzle later in the day.

Senior Scientist at the India Meteorological Department (IMD) RK Jenamani on Sunday said that there would be no rain in the national capital and its surrounding areas from tomorrow onwards.

It rained for most part of the day and night in Delhi on Saturday, bringing the late summer temperature down and flooding some roads in the city. The weather office has forecast more rain on Sunday.

As Delhiites woke up to another rainy morning, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in the national capital improved to 'good' (41) category around 9 am, data from the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) showed.

There was no rain in Delhi Sunday morning after three consecutive days of intermittent precipitation, but the weather department has forecast light drizzle during the day.

The minimum temperature in Delhi on Tuesday settled at 24.6 degrees Celsius and the weather office has forecast cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle later in the day.

Generally cloudy sky with spells of light rainfall is expected in the national capital in the next few days, according to an India Meteorological Department (IMD) bulletin.

Delhi recorded just 41.6 mm of rainfall in August, the lowest in at least 14 years, due to the absence of any major weather system in northwest India.

The weather office has forecast light rain and strong winds on Monday morning in the area surrounding the Red Fort where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the national flag to mark the 76th Independence Day.

Parts of the national capital received moderate rainfall this morning, bringing much-needed respite from the humid temperature.

Rainfall in Delhi is likely to pick up from Thursday, with the MeT office forecasting moderate rain or thudershowers in the city over the next three days.

Rain lashed Delhi on Wednesday, inundating low-lying areas and affecting traffic movement in parts of the city. The traffic police issued an advisory, asking people to check the weather before heading out.

Commuters on Tuesday witnessed heavy traffic jams in various parts of the national capital due to waterlogging caused by rain. Traffic snarls and waterlogging were reported in several parts, including Burari, Jasola, Pitampura.

Speaking to NDTV, Mr Jenamani said the IMD's forecast accuracy has improved by over 30 per cent in the past five years but it still has many gap areas so the forecast cannot yet be 100 per cent accurate.
