Scientists said that the spell of rain would intensify from Thursday and continue until Saturday.

Kuldeep Srivastava, head of IMD’s regional weather forecasting centre, said that Delhi and its satellite towns in the national capital region (NCR) would receive moderate to heavy rain between Thursday and Saturday.

“A weak low-pressure area has been created over the Bay of Bengal and this will bring rainfall in states, including Odisha, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, on Wednesday. In the northern states, such as Delhi, there is a forecast of rain intensifying from Thursday onwards,” he said.

The convergence of easterly and south-westerly winds is also creating a suitable condition for rainfall activity in the region, scientists explained.
