The weather office is forecasting thunderstorms and rain activity in Delhi, which is expected to bring relief to the city’s residents from May 29.

What did IMD say about Delhi weather? 

The IMD said that there was a likely formation of a lower tropospheric east-west trough along with a moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal, which was likely to bring relief in heatwave conditions over the region from May 29.

The India Meteorological Department says the heatwave isn’t going anywhere soon. Central and Northwest India can expect these blazing temperatures for another 4-5 days. Over in the east and nearby Peninsular India, it’s going to stay hot for the next 3-4 days, too.

When will Delhiites see relief from scorching heat? 

Relief is on the horizon, though. Starting May 29, things should start to cool down across Central, northern Peninsular, East, and Northwest India, though Rajasthan might not be so lucky.

There’s some good news for the Northeast: heavy to very heavy rain is on the way for the next week or so. Kerala and Tamil Nadu will see some heavy showers too, especially over the next couple of days.

For Uttar Pradesh, it will be the third day of ‘Nautapa’, which is the nine-day period that is considered as the toughest days of the summer season, when temperature rises above 40 degrees centigrade in some areas.

The city of Banda is ranked at the top position among the cities having the highest temperature all over the world, which rose up to 47 degrees centigrade. Monsoon’s arrival on the mainland is expected to be delayed. While the previous estimate for the arrival of the monsoon in Kerala was May 26, the revised estimate expects it around June 4.
