New Delhi: Delhi is likely to witness partly cloudy skies on Wednesday, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said in its weather forecast. However, there is no rain prediction in the city for today, according to the IMD.
Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) have been experiencing a sudden weather shift. Over the last week, the weather office has repeatedly predicted rain in the region and issued a yellow alert. The recent spells of showers have also brought the temperature down in Delhi and its adjoining areas, including Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram, giving temporary relief from extreme heat.
According to the weather office, the maximum and minimum temperatures over Delhi are likely to be
in the range of 32 to 34 degrees Celsius and 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, respectively.
The IMD has forecast cloudy weather in the national capital on Thursday and Friday with the possibility of light rain accompanied with thunderstorm and lightning. On both days, the minimum temperature is expected to hover around 17 to 19 degrees Celsius, respectively.
The fresh spell of rainfall, triggered by an active western disturbance, is likely to bring much-needed relief from record temperatures.
