The monsoon has moved away from the capital, leaving Delhi dry while meteorological agencies forecast showers across several other Indian states.
The monsoon trough has shifted further north, resulting in a dry spell over Delhi for the coming days. Weather analysts note that the capital will not receive any measurable rainfall as the system withdraws.
Conversely, the same withdrawal is expected to bring scattered to moderate showers to a number of states across the country, including parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and the eastern coastal regions. These areas are likely to see intermittent rain over the next 48 hours.
Authorities have advised residents in the rain‑affected states to stay prepared for localized flooding, while Delhi's residents can expect clear skies and normal temperatures.
