Delhi NCR continues to experience severe heat in the month of September. The daily temperature here is exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, but it feels as if the mercury has reached 40 degrees. The Meteorological Department has now brought some good news for the people.
Weather Update: The intense heat in Delhi NCR and North India this September has been troublesome for people. Temperatures are consistently rising above 35 degrees Celsius, and on most days, it feels as though the mercury has touched 40 degrees. However, according to the latest information from the Meteorological Department, the retreating monsoon may bring light rain to Delhi and surrounding areas between September 28 and 30. This will provide relief from the heat, and there is a possibility of cold weather arriving by the end of October.
Monsoon Withdrawal from Delhi and NCR
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has stated that the monsoon withdrawal from Delhi has begun. Typically, this process starts on September 17, but this year it commenced two days earlier, on September 15, from Western Rajasthan. So far, monsoon withdrawal has been recorded from parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. The weather is likely to change in other states, including Delhi, in the coming days.
The IMD also mentioned that this week, due to the monsoon withdrawal amidst dry northwesterly winds, daytime temperatures in Delhi and NCR will remain slightly above normal, ranging between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius. Partially clear skies and dry weather are expected, but light rain between September 28 and 30 is anticipated to provide some relief from the heat.
Weather Changes in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Other States
The impact of heat was also observed in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Eastern Rajasthan, adjacent to Delhi, in recent days. High temperatures were also recorded in some parts of Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. However, light rain is possible in some areas of Bihar. Heavy rainfall is still anticipated in West Bengal. Additionally, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Gujarat are likely to experience rain in the next week.
According to the IMD, this rainfall will be due to seasonal changes and the retreating monsoon. This will not only lead to a drop in temperatures but also benefit farmers and local water sources. This year, the monsoon withdrawal began two days earlier than usual. The IMD predicts that the monsoon withdrawal will be complete across India by October 15. Following this, a change in weather can be observed in the third week of October, and the arrival of cold weather is possible by the end of October.
