NEW DELHI: The southwest monsoon registered a muted arrival in Delhi with 5.5mm rainfall being recorded till 5.30pm. Several parts of the city remained dry though a maximum temperature of 32.7 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal, resulted in pleasant weather.

Met officials say the intensity of rainfall is expected to rise on Friday and then reduce slightly over the weekend. However, it may pick up again towards the beginning of next week.

"There is a low pressure area over and around Gangetic West Bengal which is moving towards central India. It is strengthening the easterly winds that are blowing over northwest India. Due to these easterlies, there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere. The models are suggesting that by the time the system reaches central India around July 7, rainfall will pick up again over the northern states," said an official.

On Thursday, the monsoon progressed further over northern India and covered Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, some more parts of Uttar Pradesh and north Rajasthan. The northern limit of the monsoon passed through Veraval, Surat, Nasik, Wasim, Damoh, Lucknow, Aligarh and Bikaner. The western end of the system has however, not progressed in the past several days. It has been stable over the southern-most tip of Gujarat since June 15 and parts of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh since June 20. At present, the system is still to cover parts of western UP, half of MP, most parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The southwest monsoon normally covers India by July 15.

On Thursday, the city recorded uneven rainfall. While parts of east Delhi received light showers for almost an hour in the afternoon, the Akshardham observatory did not record any rainfall. Lodhi Road recorded 23.8mm rainfall while Najafgarh recorded 7mm, Jaffarpur recorded 4mm, and Palam and Delhi University recorded 1mm rainfall. The minimum temperature for the day was 26.1 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal.

"The maximum temperature is expected to fall by a couple of degrees over northwest India by Friday. Rain and thundershowers are expected to occur at many places over Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir till Sunday. Rain and thundershowers will also occur at a few places over Uttarakhand during the next 24 hours. A few places in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi will also record rain and thundershowers during this period," said a Met official.
