Delhi: Generally cloudy sky, light rain likely in next 5 days, says IMD

Generally cloudy sky with light rainfall is expected in the national capital for the next five days, according to an Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) bulletin on Tuesday. Light to moderate rainfall lashed parts of Delhi-NCR on Tuesday, that led to waterlogging and traffic jam in several areas. Rainfall occurred over mostly northern parts of Delhi and most of southern part of Delhi was missed. Heavy rainfall was concentrated near Ridge area. Moderate Rainfall also occurred over some parts of NCR, the IMD said. Ridge road received 87 millimetre rainfall while the Delhi University area received 83.5 mm rainfall, the weather department said. It was due to lower level moisture laden easterly/south easterly winds reaching up to Delhi-NCR in association with low pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and presence of Western Disturbance as a trough in mid-troposphere westerlies around 65 degrees longitude/28 degrees latitude, the IMD further said. The maximum temperature in Delh

Light rain or thundershowers with winds gusting up to 40 kilometres per hour are expected at most places in the city during the day. Moderate precipitation is likely on Thursday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. The Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi's primary weather station, recorded a minimum temperature of 26.4 degrees Celsius. It said the maximum temperature was likely to settle at 34 degrees Celsius. The maximum temperature is likely to hover around 30 degrees Celsius over the next few days, the weather office said.

Heavy overnight rain in Mumbai; IMD forecasts cloudy sky, moderate showers

Heavy overnight showers in Mumbai caused water-logging in some low lying areas, but the water receded after the rain intensity reduced on Wednesday morning, civic officials said. Trains and buses were running normally in the city, they said. Some parts of the city witnessed clear sky and sunlight for a brief period in the morning. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted generally cloudy sky and moderate rain in the city and suburbs in the next 24 hours. There is also a possibility of heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places, it said. There will be a high tide of 4.18 metres in the Arabian Sea here at 2.12 pm, civic officials said. The city received heavy downpour during the night. This caused inundation in some low lying areas like Sion, but the problem did not persist for long as the water receded after the rain intensity reduced in the morning, they said. In the 24-hour period till 8 am on Wednesday, the island city received 41.20 mm rainfall, while the

Monsoon likely to start withdrawing in first week of September: IMD

The Southwest monsoon is likely to enter its withdrawal phase in the first week of September, nearly a fortnight ahead of the normal date, the weather office said on Thursday. The normal date for withdrawal of the southwest monsoon is September 17. However, the actual withdrawal of the southwest monsoon usually happens either earlier or later given the dynamic nature of the weather systems. "Conditions are likely to become favourable for the commencement of withdrawal of southwest monsoon from some parts of northwest India during the week beginning September 1," the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in the extended range forecast released on Thursday. Monsoon rains have been nine per cent above normal for the country as a whole, but states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Manipur have reported deficit rainfall of over 40 per cent of the long period average, leaving the farmers in a lurch. Uttar Pradesh and Manipur have reported 44 per cent deficit rains than the long perio

Weather forecasts show no sign of good rain spell in Delhi till month-end

Cloudy weather is predicted in Delhi on Wednesday and a good spell of rain is unlikely till August-end, weather forecasters have said. The city recorded a minimum temperature of 25.7 degrees Celsius. The maximum temperature is likely to settle around 34 degrees Celsius. The Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi's primary weather station, has recorded just 33.7 mm of rainfall so far in August against a normal of 191.1 mm -- a deficit of 82 per cent. Normally, the observatory gauges 247 mm of rainfall in August, the wettest month of the year. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a generally cloudy sky and very light rain in Delhi over the next five to six days. Weather experts have attributed the rain deficit to the lack of any major weather system, such as a low-pressure area, near the capital. Mahesh Palawat, vice-president (climate change and meteorology), Skymet Weather, said not much rain is expected in Delhi until August-end. A low-pressure area is developing in th
