Delhi rains have been making frequent appearances since the past few days, however, these rains have been only patchy in nature and mostly a localized affair. The city has not seen a prolonged spell of rain for a very long time now. The months of July and August are the rainiest with rains being at 187 mm and 232.5 mm, respectively.
As far as the monthly rains are concerned, Safdarjung has already seen 154 mm of rains and with 10 more days to go, the city will surely be able to surpass its monthly mean.
There have been episodes of heavy rains as well on a couple of days, but rains have not lasted for days and faded away soon after.

These rains will occur in association with a low pressure area which is over North Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Uttar Pradesh. The Western Disturbance is also seen over the Western Himalayan region.
Moreover, the axis of the Monsoon trough is also running in proximity of Delhi resulting in moisture incursion over the region.
