There finally seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel for the people of Delhi and other parts of north west India, who have been subjected to muggy weather for the last several days even as the monsoons lashed other parts of the country.
Weather experts at the India Meteorological Department are expecting a good spell of rains over Delhi and its neighbourhood next week. "Weather forecasting models are indicating that rains could revive over the north west region of the country from about Tuesday (July 14)."
The forecasting models, they said, showed that a low pressure area could develop over the west central and adjoining north west region of the Bay of Bengal around Sunday, and that the western end of the monsoon trough, which is presently over south Rajasthan, could move northwards.
Preliminary signals
The experts are, however, keeping their fingers crossed as the signals are currently preliminary in nature. "It may take two more days for the situation to become clear."
There are also indications of a low pressure that could form over the north eastern region of the Arabian Sea around Friday.
But the scientists are hoping that instead of hampering rains from coming to the north west, it would help the process, as there were also signals that it could move westwards.
"Normally, the formation of a low pressure area over the north eastern region of the Arabian Sea is not a favourable condition for rains to come to north west India. But fortunately, it is expected to move westwards and that would help," they said.
Meanwhile, the north west region could get some scattered rains over the next three to four days.
