The update added that dry weather is very likely over west Rajasthan, Punjab and adjoining areas of Haryana over the next five days due to an anticyclonic flow over northwest India. Very light rainfall is expected in Delhi from September 20 to 24. The Safdarjung weather station recorded 5.8 mm of rainfall on Monday.
