Delhi-NCR is likely to see more rain over the next two days as an active western disturbance, cyclonic circulation and moisture-bearing winds combine over north India, according to the weather information cited by Jagran. The conditions are also being linked to an early shift towards cooler weather in the national capital region.
The post-monsoon showers are being reported across Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and Gurugram even though the southwest monsoon has already withdrawn from the region. The weather system is also affecting parts of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
The main trigger is an active western disturbance over the Himalayan region. This non-monsoon system is associated with moisture, cloud formation and the possibility of rain, snowfall and hail in parts of the hills. Its influence has extended towards the plains, bringing unsettled weather to Delhi-NCR.
The report also points to a cyclonic circulation near the Rajasthan border and related activity over Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. Such circulation is helping develop cloud cover over lower-lying areas, while moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are meeting the colder, drier winds associated with the western disturbance.
This interaction is producing conditions favourable for rain and thunderstorms after the monsoon season. October normally brings a rise in daytime temperatures after the monsoon withdrawal, but the continued presence of cool and moist air is keeping the weather unsettled in the region.
The rain has direct implications for movement across the National Capital Region, where commuters travel daily between Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and Gurugram. The supplied report does not provide rainfall totals, traffic restrictions or confirmed disruption to public transport, but it identifies all four urban areas as being under the influence of the current weather system.
According to the report, rain is expected to continue in Delhi-NCR for the next two days. It says the weather in Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad is expected to become clearer from October 14, while the broader weather system is expected to shift towards Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand after October 13.
The report also says the developing conditions could bring a sharp fall in temperatures across Delhi-NCR, with temperatures described as dropping by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. The weather department’s assessment, as cited by Jagran, indicates that the region is moving towards the onset of winter, although the supplied report does not provide a detailed temperature forecast or an official alert category for the capital.
