Scientists said between September 6 and September 7, Delhi is likely to receive light rain, and after this rainfall in the city will reduce.

On Saturday evening, Delhi recorded 15.6 mm rainfall, according to the Safdarjung observatory, representative of the city’s weather.

“The monsoon trough has remained near Delhi from September 3. This is the reason the city received light rainfall on Saturday. Apart from this, the day time temperature in Delhi was high, which resulted in thunderstorm activity in Delhi-NCR,” Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of IMD’s regional weather forecasting centre, said.

Srivastava said a cyclonic circulation passing over northwest Rajasthan also contributed to Saturday’s rain.
