New Delhi, Sep 10 (NationPress) After experiencing a lengthy stretch of enjoyable weather due to continuous rainfall, the national capital and the National Capital Region (NCR) are bracing for a period of dryness in the upcoming days, with temperatures expected to rise significantly.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted that the weather will become hot and humid, with minimal chances of rainfall in the near future.
While the skies may be partly cloudy, the likelihood of rain remains low, a stark contrast to the previous months. The temperature is anticipated to increase, which will also contribute to higher humidity levels.
The Meteorological (MeT) Department predicts that maximum temperatures in the NCR will range between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius, while intense sunlight is expected to add to the discomfort.
The air quality index, which has been remarkably good in recent weeks, is projected to deteriorate in the coming days, according to weather analysts.
Minimum temperatures are expected to settle between 24 and 25 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels likely to remain elevated, fluctuating between 55 to 75 percent.
High humidity will make mornings and evenings feel uncomfortable, while the daytime will see harsh sunlight. From September 10 to 12, the weather will be partly cloudy, yet rain remains unlikely.
On September 13, skies are expected to be generally cloudy, but conditions are likely to clear up on September 14 and 15.
The MeT Department has clarified that no severe weather warnings have been issued for this timeframe, indicating no anticipation of heavy rain or thunderstorms.
As the effects of the Monsoon begin to wane by mid-September, residents can expect little relief from the rising temperatures.
With maximum temperatures already hitting 34 degrees, the discomfort from humidity and perspiration will be felt increasingly in the days ahead.
