Monsoon eludes Delhi though conditions are favourable
The Hindu
Forecasts on Monday morning indicate no significant rain over the region for the next 24 hours and only chances of a ‘light drizzle’ for the early part of the week.
While the conditions for the monsoon’s onset over Delhi are in place, meteorologists are unable to set a precise date. For well over a week now, the monsoon — that was to have reached Delhi on June 27-29 — has been on the threshold of the region with its northernmost limit over a stretch that spans Barmer, Aligarh, Meerut, Ambala and Amritstar. “Conditions are ripe for the monsoon in Delhi and it is only a matter of time,” M. Mohapatra, Director-General, IMD, told The Hindu on Monday. The latest forecasts, as of Monday morning, indicate no significant rain over the region for the next 24 hours and only chances of a ‘light drizzle’ for the early part of the week.More Related News
