After battling days of deadly heatwave, Delhi is now likely to see drizzle to light rain till June 29, making for a wet end to the month.
A fresh bout of rain lashed parts of the national capital on Sunday afternoon, bringing respite to the people reeling under heatwave for the past two months.
“Generally cloudy sky, thunderstorms with very light rain accompanied by gusty winds in Delhi,” the weather department said.
The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to hover around 40 and 30 degrees Celsius respectively, it added.
Earlier, the weather department said that the monsoon is expected to hit Delhi-NCR around June 30.
The southwest monsoon on Sunday advanced further into Gujarat, after making no progress for several days, following its early onset in parts of south Gujarat on June 11.
Conditions remain favourable for the monsoon to cover some more parts of Gujarat and the adjoining north Arabian Sea in the next 3-4 days, the IMD said in its forecast.
“The southwest monsoon has advanced into some more parts of Arabian Sea, Gujarat state; remaining parts of Maharashtra; some more parts of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh; remaining parts of Odisha and some parts of Jharkhand,” the IMD said in its weather bulletin.
