Rain in parts of city, AQI ‘satisfactory'
The
India Meteorological Department
has not issued any colour-coded warning but forecasts light to moderate rainfall for the next two days due to the shift of the monsoon trough and the moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea.
"The depression or low-pressure area over Rajasthan weakened and the monsoon trough is passing through Jammu and Kashmir, north UP and the Bay of Bengal. The city saw rain due to the shift of the trough and moisture-laden westerly wind coming from the Arabian Sea.
Chance of rain continues; however, we expect rain to be around two to three cm, which means 20-30 mm in different parts of Delhi, so no colour-coded warning has been issued" said Krishna Mishra, scientist, IMD.
He further pointed out that while the mountain regions in J&K, Uttarakhand and Himachal are already receiving heavy rains, the chance, however, persists till Tuesday. On Monday, base station Safdarjung recorded no rain but, several parts of the city, including Central Delhi, received strong and intense showers towards late afternoon.
