The India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) weather observatory at Mayur Vihar recorded the highest amount of rainfall on Wednesday morning – 110.5 mm.

The weather observatory at North Delhi’s Mungeshpur recorded 53.5 mm of rainfall.
Very light rainfall continued in parts of the city till noon. Rainfall offered some respite from high humidity levels, and the maximum temperature Wednesday dropped slightly to 31.3 degrees Celsius, four notches below normal. The IMD forecast indicates that moderate rainfall and thundershowers are expected in Delhi on Thursday as well. A ‘yellow’ alert has been issued, which is a warning to ‘be aware’. The alert points to the likelihood of minor traffic disruptions and waterlogging in low-lying areas. Light to moderate rainfall is also expected on Friday, and light rain is on the forecast for the weekend. So far this month, the Safdarjung weather station has recorded 368.6 mm of rainfall, which is more than the normal or long-period average of 209.7 mm for the entire month. The city has seen 16 rainy days so far this July.
A western disturbance has been affecting northwest India. Additionally, the monsoon trough, a feature of the southwest monsoon, is active and lies south of its normal position, but is likely to shift northwards in the next two to three days, according to an IMD bulletin issued on Wednesday. After remaining a little below the ‘danger’ level on Tuesday night and early on Wednesday morning, the water level of the Yamuna at the Old Railway Bridge in Delhi returned to a figure above the ‘danger’ mark on Wednesday evening. The level at 8 pm was 205.5 m, which is a little above the ‘danger’ mark of 205.33 m. It is set to rise further to 205.73 m by 10 pm on Wednesday, going by the Central Water Commission (CWC) forecast.
