Continued rainfall forecast
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast continued widespread rainfall for Delhi and surrounding regions throughout the week. The recent downpours follow a period of humid conditions, contributing to the current weather challenges.
Record rainfall in August
Delhi's Safdarjung observatory, the city's official weather station, recorded a minimum temperature of 23.4°C on Wednesday, three degrees below normal. The maximum temperature reached 34°C, with the IMD predicting a slight rise in temperatures in the coming days.
This August, Delhi recorded its highest rainfall in a decade, with 269.9 mm of rain as of August 22, surpassing the previous record set in August 2013. The unusual weather pattern is attributed to a cyclonic circulation over southeast Uttar Pradesh and an east-west trough extending to the Bay of Bengal.
