Residents of Delhi-NCR can expect some relief from the rising temperatures as a change in weather is on the horizon. While the chill of the evenings and nights continues, daytime conditions are also set to shift. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), rainfall is expected in February and March.

Rain Forecast for Delhi-NCR:

Light to moderate rainfall is predicted across Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram, on February 27 and 28. Additionally, thunderstorms and rain are expected on March 1. Wind speeds are likely to range between 20 to 30 kilometers per hour in the morning and evening, accompanied by cloudy skies, which will contribute to a drop in temperature.

Temperature Likely to Decline:

Continuous rainfall over three days will lead to a decrease in temperature. As per IMD, this weather change is due to an active western disturbance.
