The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 29 degrees Celsius, down from the 32-33 degrees Celsius prediction for the preceding day. Rain and thunderstorms are also likely on Friday, October 16, before conditions turn drier over the weekend.
Dark clouds, a sudden change in the weather and the possibility of another spell of rain – Delhi-NCR is set to witness a rainy Thursday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting “heavy to very heavy rainfall” in some parts of Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh and Punjab.
Hailstorms are likely in isolated areas of Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Punjab, Uttarakhand, western Uttar Pradesh and eastern Rajasthan, as per the weather department’s forecast. The unusual spell of showers has been triggered by a combination of weather systems, including a western disturbance over northern Pakistan, a cyclonic circulation over Haryana and winds from the Bay of Bengal and southwesterly winds from the Arabian Sea, a weather expert was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
