Another humid day, pre-monsoon showers expected soon in Delhi

New Delhi, June 14 (UNI) For the second consecutive day, Delhiites experienced acutely humid conditions even as the South Easterlies continued to bring respite from the heat wave since the beginning of June.

Though humidity levels continued to hover at a high of 81 per cent, South Easterly winds led to a fall in maximum temperature to 38.4 degrees Celsius, from 39.8 degrees yesterday.

Weatherman said the influence of Easterly winds could, in the next few days, lead to pre-monsoon showers in Delhi.

Weather officials have forecast rain or thundershowers in the National Capital and other parts of Northwest India like Uttarakhand, West Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh during the next two to three days. They have also forecast thundersqualls in these areas during the same period.
