Parts of the city were lashed by rain on Sunday evening, bringing relief from the humid weather.

The maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to hover around 33 and 26 degrees Celsius. In Northwest India, extremely heavy rainfall is very likely at isolated places over East Rajasthan from July 14 to 15 and in West Rajasthan on July 14 and 15, said the IMD. Isolated heavy rainfall is also expected in Jammu-Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, and Himachal Pradesh from July 14 to 17; in Uttarakhand from July 14 to 19; in Punjab on July 16; and across Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi on July 14. IMD further noted that Uttar Pradesh is likely to receive isolated heavy showers, particularly in the western parts on July 14, 17, and 18, and in the eastern regions from July 15 to 18, with very heavy rainfall anticipated in East Uttar Pradesh on July 16. Light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, is likely over the western Himalayan region and adjoining plains for the next seven days, IMD said in an official release. Isolated heavy rainfall is likely to continue over West Madhya Pradesh from July 13 to 17, East Madhya Pradesh and Odisha from July 13 to 19, and in Chhattisgarh and Bihar from July 14 to 17.

The Gujarat Region is likely to see both heavy and very heavy rainfall between July 13 and 16. Light to moderate rainfall is forecast at many places over the region during the next five days. Kolkata and several districts in South Bengal are expected to receive increased rainfall on Monday due to active monsoon conditions and the potential development of a low-pressure system, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Alipore. A 'yellow' alert has been issued for the day, signalling the likelihood of heavy rain in isolated areas.
