March this year had been unusually cool till Saturday (March 21), mainly due to record rains in the first half of the month which made it the wettest March ever in the capital. But with dry weather since March 15, temperatures have been gradually rising. On Monday, the maximum reached 32.8 degrees, two notches above normal.
The Met department said there had been a definite shift in the weather in the past days and maximum temperatures could hit 35 degrees by the end of the month despite the possibility of rain around March 29-30.
So far this month, 86mm rain has been recorded at the Safdarjung observatory, which is the highest ever seen in the month, beating a record that stood for 100 years — 78.2mm recorded in March 1915.
"The first half of the month was marked by a spate of active western disturbances (WDs) that led to multiple spells of heavy showers over Delhi and nearby areas. This kept the temperature on the lower side. Usually, by Holi one expects the temperature to start rising but this year it was cool enough till the middle of the month for people to continue wearing woolens," said a Met official.
Around March 25, a feeble WD is expected to affect the western Himalayan region which may lead to light clouding over Delhi on March 26. "Another WD, this time located closer to the plains, will impact the region from March 28 to 30. This will not only draw moisture from the Arabian Sea but is also likely to interact with winds from the Bay of Bengal and will bring light rain over Delhi between March 29 and 30," said B P Yadav, director, IMD.
The rise in temperatures is being attributed to westerly winds that will continue to blow over the northwestern plains till the WD strikes at the end of the month. That may lead to a marginal drop in temperatures but the relief would be temporary. Monday's minimum temperature was 19 degrees Celsius, two degrees above normal. Indirapuram and Noida both recorded a minimum temperature of 21.7 degrees Celsius, the highest in Delhi NCR.
