The last good spell of rain in Delhi and its adjoining areas was recorded on March 2. Thereafter, only isolated pockets of the region witnessed light rain and thundershower activities on two occasions.
Since the last 24 hours, Delhi and NCR has been witnessing almost dry weather conditions with bright sunshine and clear sky. In the wake of strong winds, the pollution levels have also improved and currently the AQI in most parts of the city is under moderate to satisfactory category.
However, this scenario is soon going to change. At present, a Western Disturbance is seen over North Pakistan and adjoining Jammu and Kashmir region. This system is likely to induce a cyclonic circulation over western parts of Rajasthan.
Therefore, during the next 24 hours, many parts of Northwest India will observe rain and thundershower activities. By today afternoon, clouding will start over Delhi and NCR area.
By late evening or night today, Delhi and its adjoining areas like Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad will experience short spell of light rain and thundershower activity. The reason for this short spell of weather activity would be the feeble nature of the current Western Disturbance.
However, another Western Disturbance is likely to approach the hills of North India around March 13 and rains are expected to commence once again over Delhi-NCR. During this period i.e. between March 13 and 15, the rainfall activity will comparatively be intense.
