Delhi to continue with pleasant weather, cloudy sky; heavy rainfall likely in parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat

People in Delhi can look forward to another pleasant day with the weather predicted to remain cloudy throughout the day in the national capital.

"Generally cloudy sky and very light rain or thunderstorm is likely to occur. The maximum and minimum temperatures would be around 36 degree Celsius and 28 degree Celsius respectively" said Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).

Stating details of the overall monsoon in the country, it said, "The monsoon trough passes south of normal position and is active with two embedded cyclonic circulations: one over central Rajasthan and the other one over northwest Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood."

IMD also predicted that a low-pressure area is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal, resulting in isolated heavy to very heavy falls in central, west and North-West India.

"The cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood extending upto 7.6 km above mean sea level tilting southwestwards with height persists. Under its influence a low pressure area likely to form during next two to three days.

"Under the above scenario, fairly widespread to widespread rainfalls with isolated heavy to very heavy falls are likely over central and adjoining west and northwest India and along northern parts of west coast during next three to four days.

Isolated extremely heavy falls are also likely over Konkan, Rajasthan and Gujarat during next 24 hours", IMD said in its forecast.
