Patchy rain to continue in Delhi, NCR in next few days

Delhi has seen a unique monsoon this year with a slow and delayed start to the season and rain intensity picking up in August and September

Patchy rains are likely to continue in isolated pockets of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) in the coming few days, but it was unlikely to be enough for the city to record the wettest September month, India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials said.
