Most parts of Delhi remained dry during the past 24 hours. Conditions did become favourable for rain and thundershowers, but the activity skipped the city and suburbs. Yes, there was a light sprinkle this morning over eastern peripherals like Noida for a short duration. Rains are likely today and will also keep the weekend wet with off-and-on showers. The festivities of Janmashtami, with conclusive celebrations at night, may find passing rain showers interrupting the proceedings.

Rainfall activity over Delhi and the neighbourhood will be under the influence of multiple factors. The low-pressure area over Madhya Pradesh has moved westward and is lying as a cyclonic circulation over Northwest Madhya Pradesh, Southwest Uttar Pradesh and the adjoining Rajasthan region. The east-west axis of this system is running south of Delhi and, therefore, the winds in the lower levels have all turned easterly for the capital city. The weather activity, if any, be it clouds or rain patches, will drift from east to west. The monsoon trough at the surface is also keeping proximity and is passing through Bikaner, Sikar, the centre of the low-pressure system, and further eastward. The western disturbance is moving across the mountains, interacting with the other two weather systems.
Sky conditions are expected to remain cloudy over Delhi/NCR. Passing rain and showers could occur at any time of the day, but the chances become higher during the late evening and night. Similar weather activity is quite likely on Saturday and Sunday as well. The day temperature may stay around 32°C (±1°C) for the next three days.
On Monday, the western disturbance will clear the hilly states, while the low-pressure system will retreat eastward over parts of Central and East Uttar Pradesh. The seasonal monsoon trough will shift north of Delhi, reversing the wind pattern. As a result, dry weather conditions with speedy surface winds are likely for the next week. The day temperature will rise to the mid-30s during the entire week.
