Light rain was witnessed in some parts of the city on Tuesday morning, with the minimum temperature settling at 25.7 degrees Celsius, 1.8 notches below normal.

Moderate to severe thunderstorms activity with lightning and squally winds speed exceeding 60 kmph are likely over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and adjoining Western Uttar Pradesh during the next two-three hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

According to weather experts, the rainfall was triggered by a cyclonic circulation over central Pakistan and adjoining areas, which has created favourable conditions for precipitation across northwest India, including Delhi-NCR.

According to the weather office, minimum temperature remained below normal across Delhi. Palam recorded a minimum temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, 3.8 degrees below normal, while Lodhi Road registered 23.6 degrees Celsius, 4.4 degrees below normal.

Ridge recorded 23 degrees Celsius, 3.8 degrees below normal, and Ayanagar logged 23.6 degrees Celsius, 2.3 degrees below normal.

The maximum temperature is expected to settle around 38 degrees Celsius during the day, according to the IMD.

The weather activity is expected to persist over the next two days, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms accompanied by light to moderate rain across the region.

Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 148 in the ‘moderate’ category at 9 am on Tuesday, according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
