The temperature in Delhi has dipped by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius due to the rains, with the maximum and minimum temperatures expected to hover around 31°C and 21°C, respectively.
The IMD has also issued warnings for extremely heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand, while isolated regions in West Uttar Pradesh, Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram are expected to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall.
