Delhi-NCR Weather Forecast: Monsoon Rains, Moderate Temperatures, and Improved Air Quality
Unseasonably Cold Weather Approaching Delhi, Meteorological Department Warns, Issues Yellow Warning for Precipitation
Embrace the cool breeze across Delhi-NCR as scorching heat takes a backseat for now. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted rain and strong winds for the next five days, bringing much-needed relief from the sweltering heat.
Get ready for a dip in temperatures! On June 20, the mercury won't rise above 36 degrees Celsius, and the low will drop to a cozy 27 degrees Celsius. Expect similar temperatures on June 21, with thermometers hinting at 37 degrees Celsius during the day and a nighttime chill of 28 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be between 80% and 82% during this period.
Light to moderate rain, accompanied by lightning and gusty winds, is expected during the evenings and nights of June 20 and 21. From June 22 to 25, cloudy skies, moderate to heavy rain, and thunderstorms are on the horizon, accompanied by wind speeds reaching 30–40 km/h. During this period, the maximum temperature may drop further to 35 degrees Celsius, and the minimum to 26-27 degrees Celsius. The humidity could rise as high as 90%, making the atmosphere sticky.
However, an overabundance of rain hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. Waterlogging in several low-lying areas of Gurugram, Noida, and East Delhi has caused disruptions. roads remain submerged in some places, forcing local administrations to send out drainage teams to help with the problem.
On June 26, expect clear skies with no weather warnings. The IMD forecasts partly cloudy conditions, providing a break from the persistent rain.
Stay indoors, especially during thunderstorms, and avoid waterlogged routes, authorities urge. The traffic police have issued advisories to ensure safer commuting during this wet spell.
Those breaths of fresh air won't just be relief from the heat; they'll also be a respite from the smog. Delhi's air quality has improved dramatically, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) falling into the 'satisfactory' category on June 20, after lingering in the 'poor' category for days. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the AQI was recorded at 76 at 8 a.m. on June 20, significantly lower than the 99 recorded the previous day.
In short, the extended forecast for Delhi-NCR, from June 20 to June 26, 2025, promises moderate temperatures, substantial rainfall, gusty winds, and improved air quality following the cleansing effects of rain and thunderstorms[2][3][4]. Put on your raincoats, folks, and watch as the city transforms under the monsoon!
Enjoy the predicted rain and cool temperatures as they bring the anticipated relief from the heat. The weather-forecasting by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicates that the next five days will see rain and strong winds, improving the city's weather conditions and air quality.
