No weather warning has been issued for the city.

Delhi weekend weather forecast
The rainy spell is expected to continue over the weekend.
- August 22: Moderate rain likely; 25°C–33°C
- August 23: Light rain or drizzle; 24°C–33°C
- August 24: Light rain or drizzle likely
- August 25–26: Partly cloudy conditions; maximum temperatures around 35°C
Delhi's air quality was in the moderate category, with the CPCB recording an AQI of 110 at 4 pm on Thursday.
Analysis
Friday's conditions bring two separate issues for Delhi residents: scheduled electricity maintenance and unsettled weather.
The power interruptions are planned outages linked to maintenance, network upgrades, transformer work and feeder-related repairs rather than a city-wide power crisis. The timing varies significantly by locality, so residents should check the specific schedule for their neighbourhood.
The weather outlook remains relatively humid despite the rain. While showers are expected to continue over the weekend, temperatures are likely to remain in the low-to-mid 30s, meaning rainfall may not bring a major drop in daytime heat.
The combination of cloud cover, rain and scheduled electricity work makes it particularly important for affected households and businesses to plan around the listed outage windows.
