- Delhi’s air quality remains satisfactory during these weather changes.
After several days of rain, thunderstorms and strong winds brought relief from the scorching summer heat, Delhi-NCR is now expected to experience rising humidity and a gradual increase in temperatures over the coming days.
Weather experts attribute the recent pleasant conditions to the influence of a Western Disturbance, which lowered temperatures across the region. However, as the system weakens and moves away from the national capital, its impact is expected to diminish from Sunday onwards.
Humid Conditions Likely To Return
According to meteorologists, Delhi residents may start feeling uncomfortable humidity despite the absence of extreme heat. Increased moisture levels following recent rainfall are expected to make conditions muggy over the next few days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast partly cloudy skies with the possibility of thunder and lightning on Sunday. However, no severe weather warning has been issued for the national capital at present.
