Delhi to face hot and dry weather in the next few days, IMD predicts

The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted that the National Capital will not be experiencing monsoon anytime soon; instead, Delhites may experience extremely hot and dry weather over the next few days. However, it should not be confused with a heat wave, as these conditions are likely to occur in isolated locations. According to ANI, Delhi’s Safdarjung Observatory recorded a minimum of 27.3 degrees Celsius temperature on Friday, whereas the maximum can go up to 41 degrees Celsius. The IMD had announced regular monsoon to below regular monsoon in the city, which increases the chances of hotter weather.

In this regard, IMD made a statement that reads, “During June, normal to above-normal maximum temperatures are likely across most parts of the country, except for the extreme north and some parts of the southern peninsular region.” On the other hand, Kerala has become the first Indian state to officially hit monsoon as it recorded a good pour on Thursday itself. However, it has still arrived much later than the average expected day, which is June 1. While the southern part of India is already facing monsoon, parts of the north-Indian state of Punjab have also experienced ample rain in the last few days.
