New Delhi : After weeks of pleasant weather and heavy rainfall, Delhi-NCR is now bracing for a dry spell with rising temperatures and worsening air quality in the coming days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The IMD has forecast hot and humid conditions with little to no rainfall. Although skies may remain overcast at times, showers are unlikely, leading to a sharp rise in both maximum and minimum temperatures.
Meteorologists predict that the maximum temperature in Delhi and NCR will range between 33°C and 35°C, with strong sunlight adding to the discomfort. The minimum temperature is expected to hover between 24°C and 25°C, while humidity levels could remain high at 55–75 percent.
Weather experts also cautioned that the air quality index (AQI), which stayed in the ‘good’ category for the past few months, may deteriorate gradually as rainfall subsides and pollutants begin to accumulate.
Residents can expect sticky mornings and evenings due to high humidity, while the afternoon sun may bring intense heat. From September 10 to 12, the weather will remain partly cloudy, with no chance of rain. On September 13, the skies may turn generally cloudy, but relief in the form of showers remains unlikely. Conditions are projected to clear further between September 14 and 15.
The Met Department clarified that no weather warnings have been issued for this period, ruling out heavy rain or thunderstorms. However, with the monsoon retreating by mid-September, the national capital is unlikely to see any major rainfall spells.
Currently, the maximum temperature in Delhi has touched 34°C, and the combination of rising heat and humidity is expected to intensify discomfort in the coming week. As the monsoon effect fades, experts warn that Delhi-NCR residents should prepare for warmer, sweatier days ahead with limited weather relief in sight.
