The Story in Brief
Delhi will see partly cloudy skies and light rain over the coming days, with maximum temperatures between 33°C and 35°C, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. The minimum temperature is expected to be 24-26°C. This comes after a severe May heatwave when the capital recorded a minimum of 28.4°C and a forecast maximum of 44°C under a yellow alert, as per PTI quoting IMD. The air quality has also improved from 'poor' (AQI 210) in May to 'satisfactory' (AQI 92) in August, according to CPCB data.
The Indian Opinion
Headlines shout 'climate chaos' when Delhi sees a May heatwave and then August rains, but these are seasonal norms. The test is not each weather event but the trend. Watch if Delhi's AQI stays 'satisfactory' through the rainy week, that would be a rare break from pollution.
