The monsoon trough continues to remain in proximity to the city. At the surface level, it is passing through Ganganagar, Rohtak, Fursatganj, Prayagraj, Ranchi, Digha, and thereafter dips into the Bay of Bengal. There are two weather systems keeping the trough in the vicinity of Delhi, and this position is likely to be maintained with minor oscillations. The western disturbance is located over the mountains as an upper-air trough along about 72°E, and the low-pressure area is marked over the border regions of North Madhya Pradesh and South Uttar Pradesh. Both these weather systems will move very slowly in the next 48 hours.
Weather activity is likely to be minimal today and is expected to be mild late tonight and early tomorrow morning. With a fairly long pause tomorrow during daylight hours, the activity will be more visible over the weekend, 05th and 06th September, and that too during the late evening and night hours. Delhi is on the outer periphery of the main system and will, therefore, have short bursts of monsoon showers. The clearance will come up from Monday forenoon hours and stay good for the entire week. The day temperature will remain close to 32°C, below normal by about 3°-4°C, till Sunday and start rising Monday onwards.
