The India Meteorological Department has forecast moderate rain and generally cloudy skies for Delhi on Monday, August 24. The maximum temperature is expected to settle around 35 degrees Celsius, and the minimum near 25 degrees Celsius. No weather warning has been issued for the city.
On Sunday, Delhi recorded a maximum of 33.9 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 25.9 degrees Celsius, both slightly below the seasonal average. The city received 1 mm of rainfall between Saturday evening and Sunday morning, and relative humidity stood at 69 per cent.
The IMD predicts light rain or drizzle on Tuesday with temperatures near 35 degrees Celsius. From Wednesday through the weekend, partly cloudy skies are expected, with maximum temperatures around 36 degrees Celsius and minimums between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius. Delhi's air quality remained in the 'satisfactory' category on Sunday, with an AQI of 96.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The IMD's forecast matters because Delhi's late-August weather is typically in transition from monsoon withdrawal, making day-by-day updates valuable for commuters and outdoor workers. The city recorded only 1 mm of rainfall in a 12-hour window, negligible for a month that usually sees over 200 mm total. A satisfactory AQI of 96 on Sunday masks the fact that post-monsoon, Delhi's air often deteriorates quickly to 'poor' or 'very poor' as temperatures drop and winds shift. The real figure to watch is Wednesday's forecast light rain or drizzle: if that scales up to moderate rain, it could affect school reopenings and traffic planning in the capital.
