The monsoon has fully retreated from Delhi-NCR, leaving daytime temperatures high while mornings and evenings become noticeably cooler.
The Indian Meteorological Department confirmed that the monsoon trough has completely withdrawn from the Delhi-NCR region. As a result, the area will continue to experience high temperatures during the day, with the usual peak heat persisting into the early afternoon.
Despite the lingering daytime heat, residents can expect a marked drop in temperature during the early morning and late evening hours. The cooler periods are attributed to the absence of cloud cover and the gradual loss of residual moisture after the monsoon's exit.
Weather officials advise the public to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat, and take advantage of the milder mornings and evenings for travel or exercise. The forecast does not indicate any immediate return of monsoon showers in the coming days.
The shift in weather patterns also impacts air quality, as reduced rainfall can lead to higher particulate concentrations. Authorities are monitoring the situation and will issue advisories if pollution levels rise.
Overall, Delhi-NCR will remain under a heat-dominant regime until the monsoon re-establishes itself later in the season, with temporary relief offered by cooler dawn and dusk periods.
