Delhi Weather Today: IMD Predicts Light Rain, Thunderstorms and Cooler Temperatures Till June 20
The weather in Delhi is expected to experience partly cloudy skies, with the possibility of very light to light rain accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning during the afternoon hours, today, as stated by the India Meteorological Department. According to the weather department, the maximum and minimum temperatures over Delhi are likely to be in the range of 33°C to 35°C and 26°C to 28°C, respectively. The minimum temperature will be near normal (-1.5°C to 1.5°C) at most places, and maximum temperatures will be below normal (-1.6°C to -3.0°C) at most places over Delhi.
The national capital received fresh rain and thunderstorms across several areas on Tuesday morning, June 16, bringing significant relief from the intense heat. The rainfall helped halt the rise in temperatures, with the maximum temperature dropping to around 31°C, nearly 9 degrees Celsius lower than previous levels. The minimum temperature was recorded at 27°C.
Under the influence of these systems, pre-monsoon conditions are expected to persist in Delhi until at least June 20. Intermittent rain and thunderstorms are likely during this period, with most weather activity expected during the night and early morning hours. Daytime conditions are likely to remain relatively clear and comfortable.
The IMD has also predicted isolated to scattered rainfall across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan from yesterday (June 16) onwards till June 22. Thunderstorms accompanied by winds reaching 40-50 kmph, gusting up to 60 kmph, are likely on several days during this period.
Weather experts believe the combination of western disturbances and local weather systems will keep temperatures below normal for the next few days. Night temperatures are expected to remain in the mid-20s Celsius range, providing additional relief from the summer heat.
