New Delhi. Several areas of the capital, Delhi, experienced heavy rainfall early Saturday morning. The weekend rain brought some relief from the heat and altered the weather conditions. Roads appeared wet across various localities, and a slight drop in temperature was felt. However, the rain has not completely eliminated the heat and humidity; rising humidity levels could cause discomfort as the day progresses.
According to the Meteorological Department, the sky over Delhi is likely to remain cloudy throughout Saturday. Intermittent rain or drizzle is expected in different parts of the capital, suggesting a spell of fluctuating weather. Following the morning showers, residents are hopeful that further rainfall during the day might provide additional relief from the heat and humidity.
Maximum temperature expected to range between 32 and 34 degrees
The Meteorological Department forecasts a maximum temperature of around 32 to 34 degrees Celsius for Delhi on Saturday, with the minimum temperature likely to hover between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius. While no significant drop in temperature is anticipated, the cloud cover and rain are expected to keep the weather relatively pleasant.
Despite the slight temperature drop following the rain, atmospheric humidity is likely to persist. Consequently, residents may have to contend with both heat and humidity; a sticky sensation could be felt due to increased moisture in the air, especially after the rain stops.
Weekend rain brings relief to residents
Many people venture out with their families on Saturdays and Sundays. The early morning rain on Saturday gave the day a different start, cooling the atmosphere in several areas and offering some respite from the heat. However, the intensity of the rainfall varied across different regions.
