Weather systems influencing Delhi-NCR
The IMD said the monsoon trough continues to extend from Anupgarh through Pilani, Hamirpur, Daltonganj and the centre of the deep depression over north interior Odisha and adjoining Jharkhand before reaching the northeast Bay of Bengal.
An upper air cyclonic circulation persists over southwest Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring areas, while a western disturbance continues as a trough in the middle and upper tropospheric westerlies north of latitude 32°N. These weather systems are contributing to the prevailing monsoon conditions over Delhi and the adjoining NCR region.
