The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has again predicted light to moderated rainfall, along with thunderstorms in Delhi on Wednesday and the city’s maximum temperature is predicted to settle around 28 degrees Celsius.
The weather office said that the national capital’s primary weather station, Safdarjung Observatory, recorded the maximum temperature at least 10 degrees below normal in the last three days owing to intermittent rainfall and cloudy weather under the influence of successive western disturbances.
The maximum temperature settled at 28.7 degrees Celsius on Sunday and dropped to 26.2 degrees Celsius on Monday, making it the second coldest day in the month in 13 years. The city recorded a maximum of 28.3 degrees Celsius on Tuesday.
Another western disturbance is likely to affect northwest India starting May 5. Under its influence, cloudy skies and sporadic rain is predicted in the capital until May 7, an IMD official said.
The maximum temperature is predicted to remain below 35 degrees Celsius until May 9.
According to the IMD, May is the hottest month in Delhi with a mean maximum temperature of 39.5 degrees Celsius.
