Delhi To Witness Light Rainfall; Heavy Showers Likely In Kerala And Goa News24 –


According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the national capital Delhi may remain partly cloudy today and there is a possibility of very light to light rain with thunder and lightning at some places. This weather system remains due to the active monsoon trough in many areas of North and East India.

According to the latest report of the Meteorological Department, the monsoon trough formed at sea level is currently extending to the east-central Bay of Bengal passing through Bikaner, Vanasthali, Shivpuri, Singrauli, Chaibasa and Digha. Along with this, another trough line has formed from southeast Rajasthan to northwest Bay of Bengal, which is passing through the central part of Madhya Pradesh, North Chhattisgarh and South Jharkhand and adjoining areas. This trough system extends from 0.9 km to 5.8 km above sea level and is tilted towards the south with height.

The effect of these active weather systems may increase convective activities during the day in Delhi and its surrounding areas, which is likely to cause light rainfall.
The monsoon system is likely to become more effective in North and Central India, which may increase the intensity of rain in Delhi in the coming days. However, there is no possibility of heavy rainfall at the moment. The Meteorological Department has warned citizens to be cautious during thunder and lightning and stay away from open spaces.

Heavy rains are expected at many places in Kerala till July 5 (Saturday). According to the Meteorological Department, if there is rainfall of 64.5 mm to 115.5 mm in 24 hours, it is classified as heavy rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday also warned of heavy rains in Goa and declared a ‘yellow alert’ for the state till July 7.
