“Delhi is expected to receive good showers on July 11 while the next two days will have moderate rainfall,” an IMD official had said earlier this week.
With isolated pockets of Delhi NCR, Haryana and Punjab witnessing some light monsoon rains, private weather forecasting agency Skymet had said, “This clearly indicates the sign of monsoon revival over the plains of northwest India. The weather is also in no mood to return to the hot and dry condition again as we expect one or two short spells of rains to occur over parts of west Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, parts of Haryana and north Rajasthan.”
