The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Saturday as Delhi-NCR is likely to receive light to moderate post-monsoon rain over the next two to three days. The showers are attributed to a depression over Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh interacting with a weak western disturbance. Temperatures are expected to dip further, with maximums around 32-34C.
The southwest monsoon withdrew from Delhi on September 23, two days ahead of schedule. Safdarjung recorded 728.6mm of rainfall this season, 16% above normal. The IMD has warned of waterlogging and minor traffic disruptions on Saturday. Skies are expected to clear from September 29.
