Delhi is likely to witness another spell of monsoon rain on Monday, July 6, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert, forecasting light to moderate rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds across the national capital.

According to the weather department, a generally cloudy sky will prevail through the day, with rain expected at many places and isolated moderate showers.

Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and winds of 30-40 kmph, gusting up to 50 kmph, are also likely, particularly during the evening and night.

The IMD has advised residents to remain cautious during thunderstorms, as strong winds could affect traffic and outdoor activities.

The latest forecast comes just days after the southwest monsoon officially reached Delhi, ending a prolonged spell of hot and humid weather.

Since then, intermittent showers have brought relief from soaring temperatures while increasing humidity and triggering waterlogging in some parts of the city.

The maximum temperature is expected to remain between 34-36°C, while the minimum temperature is likely to stay around 26-28°C.

The weather department has also warned of isolated heavy rainfall over Delhi between July 6 and July 8 as monsoon activity becomes more vigorous across northwest India.

The yellow alert essentially urges residents to stay updated on changing weather conditions, as heavy rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds could lead to brief disruptions, especially during peak commuting hours.

DELHI TO REMAIN COOL AND PLEASANT

The ongoing wet spell is being driven by an active southwest monsoon, with moisture-laden winds continuing to feed rain-bearing clouds over northwest India.

The IMD said conditions also remain favourable for the monsoon to advance further into the remaining parts of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat over the next few days.

The showers are expected to keep temperatures below the levels seen before the monsoon arrived, providing relief from the intense summer heat.

However, intermittent rain may also lead to waterlogging in low-lying areas, slower traffic and reduced visibility during thunderstorms.
