Delhi/NCR has generally remained dry for the last 4 days. Base station Safdarjung has not recorded any measurable rainfall during this period. The mercury was on the rise, and the city registered temperatures in excess of 35°C between 24th and 27th July. The maximum temperature reached 37.5°C yesterday, and it crossed the threshold mark of 37°C only for the second time this month. Temperature is expected to drop today and will remain in the low 30s for the rest of the week.
A low-pressure area is marked over Northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining East Rajasthan. The cyclonic circulation is extending up to medium levels. The monsoon trough at the surface level starts from Ganganagar, Jhunjhunu and passes through the center of this low-pressure area and proceeds further eastwards up to West Bengal. The east-west oriented trough is in close proximity to Delhi in the lower levels and is expected to remain positioned south of the capital city. The low-pressure area, along with the circulation, will shift closer to Delhi tomorrow, and the trough will become favourable for triggering heavy showers.
