The pace of monsoon has once again slowed down in the capital Delhi and surrounding areas (NCR). According to the latest update of the Meteorological Department (IMD), there are less chances of heavy rain in Delhi for the next one or two days. Although the sky will be partly cloudy, these clouds are not enough to cause rain. This short ‘break’ of monsoon has increased the problems of Delhiites, because due to lack of rain, now the sultry heat is once again ready to make people sweat.
Temperature will rise in Delhi, humidity will pose ‘challenge’
According to the Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature of Delhi is expected to be around 37 to 38 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is expected to be around 27 to 29 degrees Celsius. The movement of clouds will continue, but due to humidity the heat will be felt more. Experts believe that due to the change in the position of the monsoon trough, the rain activities in Delhi-NCR have slowed down at present. It is a matter of relief that there may be a change in the weather again in the coming days.
Heavy rain alert in UP and other states
Unlike Delhi, there is news of both relief and caution for many other states of the country including Uttar Pradesh. The Meteorological Department has issued an alert regarding heavy rain and storm in many districts of Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, monsoon remains quite active in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and northeastern states (like Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh), where heavy to very heavy rains have been warned.
Advice to be careful in the mountains
The administration in the hilly states, especially Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, has advised people to remain alert. Due to continuous rains, the risk of landslides has increased in these areas and there are reports of many roads being blocked. Those who are planning to travel to these areas have been advised to keep an eye on the latest advisory of the Meteorological Department.
Mood in other parts of the country
There is also a possibility of sporadic rain in some areas of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, which may provide some relief to the farmers for Kharif crops. Overall, while the plains of north-west India may have to wait for some rain, the eastern and north-eastern parts of the country are bearing the brunt of the monsoon.
