IMD has predicted very light to light rainfall in Delhi from Sunday through August 14. No colour-coded rainfall warning has been issued for the capital during this period.
Temperatures are expected to remain relatively moderate, with the maximum likely to stay between 33°C and 35°C and the minimum between 23°C and 25°C over the next few days.

The maximum temperature was around one degree below normal and marked a significant rise after Delhi recorded temperatures below 30°C for two consecutive days. The city had registered maximum temperatures of 27.6°C on Thursday and 27.5°C on Friday.
