The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported that conditions are becoming favourable for the further advance of the Southwest Monsoon over the remaining parts of the country within the next two to three days. This development is expected to bring much-needed rainfall to regions still awaiting the seasonal downpour.
Over the next week, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely to continue across several parts of Northwest, Central, Eastern, and Northeastern India. Isolated areas, particularly in Saurashtra and Kutch, are expected to experience extremely heavy rainfall on Friday, signalling the monsoon’s growing intensity.
In Delhi-NCR, the weather is expected to remain active with periodic showers and thunderstorms over the next four days.
On June 27, Delhi will witness partly cloudy skies with very light to light rain accompanied by thunder and lightning during the afternoon/evening. Temperatures are expected to range between 36°C and 38°C, remaining close to normal. Winds will predominantly blow from the southeast at a moderate pace.
June 28 will see generally cloudy skies and light to moderate rain with thunderstorm activity during the evening/night. Day temperatures are likely to be slightly below normal, ranging from 35°C to 37°C, while night temperatures will hover between 26°C and 28°C.
On June 29, the weather will continue to remain cloudy, with light to moderate showers expected throughout the day. Both day and night temperatures are set to drop further, with maximum temperatures ranging between 32°C and 34°C, and minimums between 25°C and 27°C. Winds will shift to a westerly direction in the morning before gradually turning southwesterly and picking up speed in the evening.
June 30 is forecast to bring similar weather, with continued rain and thunderstorms expected. Temperatures will remain in the range of 32°C to 34°C during the day and 25°C to 27°C at night, slightly below normal for this time of year. Winds will shift direction again, beginning from the west and later turning southerly.
