Clear Saturday, Sudden Change by Sunday

Saturday is expected to stay mostly clear with plenty of sunshine, keeping temperatures between 31–33°C during the day and 17–19°C at night. However, this stability won’t last long. By Sunday, cloud cover will increase, bringing chances of rain, thunderstorms, and lightning.

Rain Spell Linked to Western Disturbances

The current fluctuating weather pattern is being driven by a series of western disturbances affecting northwest India since mid-March. These systems, moving at lower altitudes than usual, are causing repeated spells of cloudiness, rain, and gusty winds in Delhi and nearby states like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Light rainfall may continue into Monday before conditions stabilise from March 31 onwards.

Air Quality Stable Despite Weather Activity

Delhi’s air quality remains in the moderate category, with an AQI reading of 148. Improved wind movement has helped prevent pollution levels from rising, and this trend is expected to continue over the next few days. Despite thunderstorms and possible dust activity, no major impact on overall temperature or air quality is anticipated.
