New Delhi: There is expected to be a major change in weather in Delhi-NCR from September 30 onwards. After the region witnessed heavy rains and thunderstorms
in the past, it is expected that the weather will be largely dry, starting Wednesday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) in its forecast said that the national capital and its neighbouring areas will experience largely clear skies from September 30 onwards.
In fact the weather in Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh is expected to remain largely dry in the first week of October. This dry spell will extend to pretty much of the northwest part of the country, from September 30 onwards.
Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and most parts of Uttar Pradesh will remain dry, predicted the weather office.
On Wednesday, Delhi’s minimum temperature is likely to be 24 degrees Celsius, while the maximum can go up to 33 degrees Celsius. As rainfall eases, the temperatures are expected to rise in the coming days, said scientists at the weather office.
Rains in other parts of the country
While no rainfall is expected in Delhi, other states of India are expected to continue receiving rainfall in the coming days. Uttarakhand for example is expected to witness isolated rains and thunderstorms, till at least October 4. A similar weather pattern is expected in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh between October 2 to October 4.
Himachal Pradesh may also receive isolated rainfall.
Rains and thunderstorms are also likely in Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh in the coming days.
The northeastern states are also expected to receive heavy rains. Rains are forecast for the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura through October 4. Some of these states might even see heavy rains, said IMD.
Rains are also likely to continue in South India. Isolated heavy showers are forecast for several southern states in the next 4 to 5 days. Tamil Nadu, Kerala and south interior Karnataka may receive heavy showers in the next few days, said the weather office.
As the monsoon retreats, northwest India is likely to remain predominantly dry.
