Weather likely to turn pleasant later this week

New Delhi: The national Capital on Friday recorded the maximum temperature at 41 degrees Celsius, with humidity recorded at 45 per cent, while the Indian Meteorological Department predicting a weak storm later this week.

"Weather conditions are becoming favourable for another spell of pre-Monsoon rains in the plains of northern India.

"Humid winds have already increased the moisture levels across the northwestern plains. As a result, light to moderate rains and thundershowers are likely on June 9 and June 10 across the region," noted the agency noted.

Reports noted that at present, a trough is extending from north west Rajasthan to Bihar across plains.

Apart from this system, there is a cyclonic circulation over Northwest Madhya Pradesh. Thus, it is anticipated that districts in Punjab, Haryana, north Rajasthan and Delhi will see a dust storm and thundershowers in the coming days.

Moreover, moderate rainfall may also occur in some regions.

In wake of the change in wind pattern, the temperatures have already decreased in north west India. However, the humid weather is expected to keep the discomfort levels high.

During the next two days, the mercury is expected to drop further, in view of the upcoming rains.

As a result, some relief is expected from the scorching heat.

Along with the north western plains, north west Madhya Pradesh will also witness pre-Monsoon activities until June 11.

Thereafter, the impact of these systems will shift to the southern parts of the country and rain in north India will reduce in intensity.

As a result, several areas in the north western plains, such as Amritsar, Ambala, Karnal, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Gurugram and Delhi, will witness fewer pre-Monsoon showers until the arrival of the south west monsoon.
