The MeT Department has now forecast clear skies, with dry westerly winds to dominate once again, causing a rise in temperatures.

Monsoon to return by June 12 The IMD has indicated a possible revival of the southwest monsoon between June 12 and 18, following a pause since May 29. The forecast offers hope for parched regions, as the monsoon's progress across the country has been notably slow over the past week.

According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 169 at 8 am on June 7, compared to 137 at the same time a day earlier.
