A cloud cover cocooned Delhi on Tuesday, causing the maximum temperature at the Safdarjung Observatory, the city's base station, to drop below 40 degrees Celsius for the first time this month, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The observatory recorded a maximum temperature of 39.6 degrees Celsius as against 43.7 degrees Celsius on Monday. The minimum temperature settled at 31.2 degrees Celsius, three notches above normal.
Consecutive western disturbances and lower level easterlies predicted in the coming days are likely to keep the heat at bay.
The IMD has issued a yellow alert, warning of thundershowers or light rain over the next six days. The mercury is predicted to drop to 35 degrees Celsius by Sunday.
