Outlook Ahead

While intensity may reduce slightly by the weekend, isolated heavy showers are still possible in vulnerable areas.
In Delhi-NCR, weather forecasts predict intermittent rain and overcast skies for the next 2 to 3 days. These light to moderate showers are likely to provide much-needed respite from high humidity and heat, although brief periods of water-logging or traffic congestion may occur in low-lying zones.
Residents are advised to stay weather-aware, especially during early morning and evening hours when visibility and road conditions may be impacted.
