On Saturday (June 28), the maximum temperature in Delhi is expected to be around 36 degrees Celsius, while the minimum could drop to 27 degrees Celsius.
Showers of light to moderate intensity are forecasted, particularly in the evening and at night, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Humidity levels are projected to stay high, ranging from 55 to 70 percent.
The weather activity is predicted to escalate on Sunday (June 29), with rain likely throughout the day - in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
The maximum temperature may decrease to 33 degrees Celsius and the minimum to about 26 degrees Celsius, providing noticeable relief from the current heatwave conditions.
Looking forward, the IMD has not issued any alerts for June 30, although cloudy skies and moderate rain are anticipated. Similarly, July 1 may see thunderstorms, but no warnings have been put in place as of now.
Intermittent rain and thunder could persist on July 2 and 3, but again, no weather warnings are expected for these days. Daytime temperatures during this period are forecasted to remain between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius, with minimum temperatures hovering around 26-27 degrees Celsius.
