Wet spell likely by weekend in Gurgaon, multiple weather systems at work
But humidity kicked in soon after.
Relief, however, may be on the horizon. IMD has forecast a fresh spell of rain across Haryana which is likely to begin later this week. Light to moderate rainfall is likely at a few places on Aug 6, 9, and 12, while heavier showers are expected across many locations on Aug 10 and 11. Isolated heavy rainfall has been predicted for Aug 11 and 12.
"The upcoming wet phase is being driven by multiple weather systems. The monsoon trough currently stretches from Ferozepur through Karnal, Moradabad, Kheri, and Jalpaiguri to the foothills of Arunachal Pradesh. There's also an upper-air cyclonic circulation over Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, hovering at around 1.5km above sea level. In addition, a western disturbance is active over Punjab, with its upper-level trough extending as high as 7.6km," an IMD official said.

Authorities said the fire started in a camper van at a campsite and quickly spread in the gusty conditions. About 1,550 people and 5,000 vehicles were evacuated from campsites, hotels and homes. Residents and tourists were allowed to return on Wednesday after the fire was declared "stabilised". While the flames have been contained, firefighting crews will remain in the area in the coming days to secure the perimeter and prevent flare-ups, Andalusia's regional firefighting agency, Infoca, said on X. Spain is currently experiencing a heat wave, with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in many regions. The extreme heat is expected to last until at least Wednesday.

Heat, humidity grip Delhi-NCR as monsoon stalls, AQI drops to 'moderate'
The monsoon has once again lost momentum in Delhi-NCR, bringing in a spell of intense heat and humidity, reminding the residents of peak summer. The summer sun, coupled with humid conditions, has left residents struggling as daytime temperatures soar and respite remains out of reach. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the present weather pattern is expected to persist for the next two to three days. Despite intermittent cloud cover and conditions that appear favourable for rain, the region has seen almost no precipitation. Over the past 24 hours, maximum temperatures across Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Greater Noida have hovered between 35 and 36 degrees Celsius. The IMD has not forecast any significant change in this trend in the immediate future. Today's weather forecast for Delhi On Friday, Delhi is set to witness a partly cloudy sky, with a possibility of developments of thunderstorms in the evening or night hours. Very light to light rain may follow. Minimum temperatures range from 25 to 27 degrees Celsius, while maximum temperatures are expected to remain between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius, one to three degrees above normal. South-westerly winds are to prevail in the region, blowing at speeds of up to 22 kmph, gusting up to 30 kmph. Delhi's air quality in 'moderate' category Adding to the discomfort, the city's air quality dipped to the 'moderate' category on Friday morning. The Air Quality Index (AQI), recorded at 10 am by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), stood at 114. The CPCB classifies AQI levels between 101 and 200 as 'moderate', indicating potential respiratory discomfort for sensitive groups. Lucknow shuts schools amid waterlogging While Delhi faces rising heat, other parts of northern India are grappling with excess rainfall. In Lucknow, all government, government-aided, and private schools from pre-primary to Class 8 are to remain closed on August 8, following heavy rainfall and widespread waterlogging. The closure order, issued by the District Magistrate, covers institutions affiliated with all education boards in both urban and rural areas of the district. Officials cited the continuing rain and a warning from the IMD forecasting further downpours as the basis for the precautionary measure. Several neighbourhoods in the city reported severe waterlogging. Similar conditions were witnessed in other parts of Uttar Pradesh, including Varanasi, where rising water levels in the River Ganga led to the inundation of residential areas. Monsoon havoc continues in Himachal In Himachal Pradesh, the monsoon has taken a tragic toll, claiming 202 lives since June 20, according to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC).

In addition, 861 power distribution transformers and 244 water supply schemes are currently disrupted. Districts including Mandi, Kullu, and Kangra have reported widespread destruction to homes, public utilities, roads, and crops. Mandi, the worst-affected district, has recorded 42 rain-related deaths. Since the onset of the monsoon, Himachal Pradesh has experienced 51 landslides, 58 flash floods, and 30 cloudbursts.
