New Delhi: Early morning rain brought some relief from humid weather across parts of Delhi-NCR on Saturday, but the showers also led to waterlogging in several areas, with water beginning to accumulate on roads.

Several parts of the national capital, including Moti Bagh, Feroz Shah Road, APJ Abdul Kalam Road and Mandir Marg, witnessed spells of heavy rain during the morning.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rainfall in some parts of Delhi between the morning and afternoon. More rain is also possible during the night.

Delhi is expected to record a maximum temperature of 32°C to 34°C on Saturday, while the minimum temperature is likely to remain between 24°C and 26°C.

Heavy rain alert across northern India

The weather system is not limited to Delhi. The IMD has issued a heavy rainfall alert for August 22 in isolated areas of Jammu and Kashmir, eastern Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Uttarakhand.

According to the weather department, a low-pressure area has formed over northeast Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas. Under its influence, eastern Madhya Pradesh is likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall at some places on Saturday.

The IMD has also indicated that rainfall activity may remain relatively subdued over peninsular India in the coming days.

Delhi weather forecast for Sunday

Delhi-NCR is likely to remain generally cloudy on Sunday, August 23. Very light to light rain may occur at some places between the morning and afternoon.

The maximum temperature in Delhi is expected to stay between 32°C and 34°C, while the minimum temperature could range from 24°C to 26°C.

The IMD expects minimum temperatures to remain around normal at most places. Maximum temperatures are also likely to be close to normal in several areas, although some locations could record temperatures below normal.

For now, the combination of cloudy skies and further showers is expected to keep the weather relatively cooler than otherwise, while residents in areas prone to waterlogging may have to contend with the impact of Saturday's rain.
