Expect a rainy end to month
New Delhi: The Delhi-NCR region is expected to witness rain in the remaining days of July due to an approaching low-pressure system. Though the India Meteorological Department has not issued any colour-coded warnings, it has predicted light to moderate precipitation in the capital from Monday to Wednesday, followed by scattered light showers on Thursday.
"The well-marked low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh is moving towards east Rajasthan and weakened into a low-pressure area. It will change direction towards the northeast and will reach northeast Rajasthan and adjoining north Madhya Pradesh by Monday. Excess of monsoon trough will also be just south of Delhi. The Western disturbance is over Jammu Kashmir," said Mahesh Palawat, vice-president at Skymet Meteorology.
Due to the combination of these systems, heavy to very heavy rain is expected over Uttarakhand and western districts of UP, northeast Rajasthan and north Madhya Pradesh. "Delhi and parts of Haryana may also get moderate showers on Monday and Tuesday," said Palawat.
