Next week could introduce the first period of prolonged dry and hot weather conditions of this summer in the national capital. Gradual rise in day temperatures in Delhi in coming few days could send day temperatures above 40 degrees Sunday onwards. Weather in north and northwest India sees chances of rain in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the hills while there could also be rain in the plains over Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi as well during the next two days

After the passage of the current Western Disturbance, weather in Delhi could experience first extremes of summer conditions in coming few days. During this, temperatures during daytime would be in early forties and hot and dry wind conditions will be prevalent in northwest India. During the next two days, temperatures in Delhi will soar close to 40 degrees and a fall is not expected as there will be no weather system such as WD to emanate clouds.

On hot days, there will be relief for early office goers in the capital between up to 9am in coming days as northerly winds would prevail I early morning hours. During the next two days, minimum temperatures in Delhi will remain in mid-twenties due to absence of northerly winds.

Under the aegis of the present weather system in north and northwest India i.e. the Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir and the cyclonic circulation over Rajasthan, rain could be witnessed in the hills and the plains of the region.

Rain possibility continues in eastern parts of central Peninsula over Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and central parts of Marathwada and Vidarbha. One or two places will get rain in these places.  The reason for this rain is a trough of low pressure area that runs from east Uttar Pradesh to Orissa along the Bay of Bengal.

The other low pressure area extends from west Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu across west Madhya Pradesh, interior Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Due to this system there is possibility of rain at one or two places in these parts during the next two days.
