The weather across Delhi and the National Capital Region is set to experience frequent shifts today, bringing a mix of sunshine, cloud cover, and light showers at different times of the day. While the morning will begin with clear sunshine making the air slightly warm, the atmospheric conditions are expected to change rapidly within hours as gusty winds and clouds move in, eventually leading to light precipitation by the evening.
IMD Forecast for September 14
According to the predictions issued by the India Meteorological Department, the sky over Delhi-NCR will generally remain cloudy throughout the day. During this period, the minimum temperature is projected to hover around 24 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature is expected to reach nearly 33°C, remaining below the seasonal average. Although no severe weather warnings have been issued by the IMD regarding heavy rainfall, light drizzle remains a strong possibility in various pockets.
The afternoon hours are particularly favorable for brief spells of light rain. Analyzing the weather trends of the past twenty-four hours, the maximum temperature recorded in Delhi until September 13 stood at 35.1°C with a minimum of 26.2°C, accompanied by light showers in isolated spots. With temperatures dropping slightly today and humidity managed by the cloud cover, people are likely to experience less discomfort from heat.
Conditions in Noida Gurugram and Ghaziabad
Neighbouring urban centers including Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad will witness weather patterns closely mirroring those in Delhi. These regions will experience alternating phases of sun and clouds throughout the day, punctuated by occasional light rain. The minimum temperatures in these satellite cities are anticipated to stay between 24 and 26°C, while maximum temperatures will range from 32 to 34°C.
Monsoon Activity in Neighboring States
The meteorological agency indicates that even if rainfall remains light or skips certain pockets in Delhi-NCR, several adjacent states are in line for significant weather activity. Good to moderate monsoon showers are predicted in these surrounding regions today.
Rainfall Deficit and El Nino Impact
Earlier, the IMD had projected below-average rainfall for September due to the persisting influence of El Nino. This follows a broader seasonal trend where precipitation remained significantly low during preceding months, with June and August breaking 125-year records for rainfall deficits.
