Delhi experienced a maximum temperature of 32.1 degrees Celsius, slightly below the seasonal average, and a minimum of 24.5 degrees Celsius, two notches below normal, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The relative humidity reached 74% by 5:30 PM, contributing to a muggy atmosphere in the capital.

The air quality remained satisfactory, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 79 at 4:00 PM, as reported by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), falling within the “satisfactory” range of 51–100, indicating minimal health risks.

The IMD has forecast a significant weather shift for Monday, September 1, predicting a generally cloudy sky accompanied by heavy rain and thunderstorms. The maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to hover around 32°C and 25°C, respectively, signaling potentially disruptive weather conditions for the city.

Residents are advised to prepare for heavy rainfall, which could impact commuting and outdoor activities.

This forecast aligns with the IMD’s broader prediction of above-normal rainfall across India for September, raising concerns about localized flooding in urban areas like Delhi. The satisfactory air quality provides temporary relief, but heavy rain could influence pollution levels in the coming days.

Authorities are urged to monitor drainage systems to mitigate potential waterlogging as the capital braces for Monday’s stormy weather.
