Western Disturbance Impact

Delhi NCR rains result from the first strong western disturbance of the post-monsoon season, drawing moisture from the Mediterranean region and causing widespread thunderstorms across northwest India. The system has brought more than three times the normal October rainfall, with Safdarjung recording 51.8mm compared to the normal 15.1mm.

This weather pattern represents a significant shift from heat and dust to pleasant autumn conditions, with cold winds from the snow-capped Himalayas expected to maintain cooler temperatures through the week. The disturbance is gradually weakening, promising clear skies and bright sunshine from Thursday onwards.
