The India Meteorological Department stated that the national capital is likely to witness spells of light showers and thundershowers on Tuesday, September 9. While Monday remained completely dry without any rainfall activity, the IMD mentioned that a cloudy sky with chances of light rain is expected on Tuesday. However, no specific weather-related warning has been issued for the region.
Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 35.6 degrees Celsius on Monday, which was 2.1 degrees higher than the normal average for this time of year. The minimum temperature settled at 23.9 degrees Celsius, making it 1.7 degrees below the usual seasonal average, according to data shared by IMD.
In the weekly outlook, the weather office suggested that partly cloudy conditions may prevail on Tuesday with possibilities of light to very light rain. The maximum and minimum temperatures are projected to hover near 35 and 25 degrees Celsius, respectively, as per the IMD forecast.
The department also indicated that maximum temperatures are likely to remain between 34 to 36 degrees Celsius until Wednesday. A slight decline is anticipated after that period as weather conditions may shift.
On Monday, Delhi and the adjoining NCR region largely experienced dry weather conditions without any rainfall in the past 24 hours. Humidity levels in the city were recorded between 87 per cent and 57 per cent during the day, showing noticeable variation.
The Central Pollution Control Board highlighted that air quality in the national capital remained in the ‘satisfactory’ range. Data recorded at 4 pm showed an Air Quality Index reading of 82 for Delhi, reflecting stable air conditions.
