Delhi Weather Update: National Capital Delhi woke up to gray skies and intermittent rains on Tuesday as well, bringing some relief from the usual monsoon humidity. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) recorded about 13 mm of rainfall in the city over the last 24 hours. The forecast calls for more light to moderate showers and thundershowers across the capital for the rest of the week, keeping the wet weather steady through August 31.
The monsoon is showing no signs of letting up soon. Skies are expected to remain mostly cloudy, with daytime temperatures hovering between 28°C and 34°C. Nights will feel muggy as humidity levels stay high. Residents should prepare for damp commutes, occasional waterlogging and typical traffic slowdowns during heavy spells of rain.
Though no severe weather warnings are in place for Delhi, the persistent showers and cloud cover will keep the atmosphere cool but sticky. The IMD’s latest satellite data reveals dense convective clouds hovering over the region, especially over South-East Haryana which borders Delhi.
