The IMD has forecast partly cloudy skies for Delhi today. “Delhi may experience light rains from September 16 to 19 due to the interaction between a western disturbance and a low-pressure area over the southwestern states. Following this, it will take a few days for the conditions to meet the criteria for monsoon withdrawal, which is expected around September 22-23,” said a senior official of the MeT department.
He further said, “For the monsoon to be declared withdrawn from a region, specific conditions must be met, including at least five consecutive dry days, anticyclonic winds, and a significant fall in humidity.”
