After days of continuous rainfall, Delhi is likely to witness a monsoon break, bringing an end to the recent wet spell. Weather experts say rainfall activity is expected to reduce over the next week, while temperatures may rise to 3-38 degrees Celsius, increasing humidity and making the weather uncomfortable once again. According to private weather agency Skymet, the low pressure system that brought heavy rainfall to Delhi has weakened after moving from northwest Madhya Pradesh to central Uttar Pradesh. The weather system is expected to move towards the Himalayan foothills and gradually weaken further. As a result, the monsoon trough has shifted northward, reducing the chances of widespread rainfall in Delhi.
What Is A Monsoon Break?
A monsoon break does not mean that the monsoon season has ended. According to weather experts, it is a normal phase during the monsoon when rainfall activity temporarily weakens. During this period, cloud formation reduces, sunshine increases and temperatures begin to rise.
Weather experts say only isolated light showers are possible over the next couple of days, but the chances remain very low. Overall, Delhi is expected to witness mostly dry weather for the next week or longer, with rainfall activity remaining weak.
As rainfall decreases, humidity levels are expected to remain high. The combination of rising temperatures, strong sunshine during the day and humid evenings is likely to make the weather uncomfortable once again. Experts say the maximum temperature could reach 37-38 degrees Celsius in the coming days.
When Will It Rain Again In Delhi?
Meteorologists say the current dry spell is only temporary. Rainfall is expected to return once the monsoon system becomes active again. Until then, residents should be prepared for hot and humid conditions across Delhi and nearby areas.
