Delhi woke up to a fresh wet spell today, as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a forecast of continuous rainfall until 23 July. The new weather pattern is expected to bring much-needed relief from the city’s hot and humid conditions that have persisted for weeks.
The IMD’s bulletin noted that the monsoon trough is moving over the northern plains, bringing moist air that will settle over the capital. Meteorologists expect moderate to heavy showers in the early evening and overnight hours.
City officials have advised commuters to plan for possible traffic disruptions and to keep an eye on local weather updates. The forecast also suggests that the rains could help replenish water levels in reservoirs and alleviate the heat wave’s impact on residents.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated and to secure outdoor belongings, as sudden downpours can occur during the forecasted period.
