However, Delhites will get a sigh of relief now foreseen as some light rains are anticipated to show up in parts of Delhi and adjoining regions like Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad on Wednesday and may continue for another 48 hours.
As per Skymet Weather Forecast comapny, a trough is seen extending from North Punjab up to Manipur across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and North West Bengal.
This trough is in close proximity to Delhi and hence rains may occur in parts of the capital of the country.
"The presence of a Western Disturbance in the higher levels is over North Pakistan and adjoining Jammu & Kashmir. In addition to this, an induced cyclonic circulation is also seen over North Rajasthan and adjoining Haryana," as stated by Skymet.
All these weather systems will be responsible for bringing rains over Delhi and NCR. However, these rains will be of a short duration due to which the humidity levels will shot up.
