New Delhi, Sep 7 : Delhi is likely to witness another spell of rainfall on Monday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting showers at several places across the national capital.

The weather department said a low-pressure area over southwest Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas continued to influence weather conditions over Delhi and surrounding regions. Parts of the national capital received rainfall on Sunday, bringing some relief from the prevailing humid conditions.

According to the IMD forecast, Monday is expected to be the wettest day of the week. Very light to light rain is likely at many places, while isolated areas may receive moderate showers. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning are also expected during the morning and forenoon hours. Another spell of light rain could occur from the afternoon to evening.

The maximum temperature in Delhi on Monday is likely to remain between 33 degree Celsius and 35 degree Celsius, while the minimum temperature may settle between 23 degree Celsius and 25 degree Celsius.

From September 8, rainfall activity is expected to decrease, with the capital likely to experience partly cloudy skies. The maximum temperature on Tuesday is forecast to remain between 33 degree Celsius and 35 degree Celsius, while the minimum temperature could be between 24 degree Celsius and 26 degree Celsius.

On September 9 and 10, the maximum temperature is expected to remain around 32 degree Celsius to 34 degree Celsius, with minimum temperatures likely to stay between 24 degree Celsius and 27 degree Celsius. The weather is expected to remain generally cloudy on September 11 and 12, with daytime temperatures ranging between 31 degree Celsius and 33 degree Celsius. No rainfall has been forecast for these two days.

Delhi recorded significant rainfall during the preceding 24-hour period. Safdarjung received 29.8 mm of rain, while Palam recorded 35.6 mm. The highest rainfall reported in the bulletin was 50 mm at IGNOU University.

The showers had earlier caused waterlogging in several parts of the capital. Areas such as Geeta Colony and Akbar Road reported accumulation of rainwater during the morning, affecting normal movement.

The impact of the rainfall was also felt across the wider National Capital Region. Several important stretches in Gurugram experienced waterlogging, slowing traffic and causing inconvenience to commuters.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta carried out a surprise inspection of Sadhbhavana Park and adjoining roads on Saturday to take stock of local conditions.
