Rains in Delhi to prevail for five more days

The morning of January 5, in Delhi turned out to be quite a cold and damp affair as the national capital witnessed some mild winter showers. The rain that appeared at the importunate morning rush hour forced out the umbrellas, made bodies shiver, and hastened the steps on the roads. It also brought out our cameras. Things are predicted to continue in a similar wet vein in Delhi and adjoining areas till the weekend. IMD predicts this wet episode to last till January 9, 2021. According to IMD updates, the minimum temperature will rise, but the day temperature will fall. On the good side, the rain is expected to cause the air quality to improve aided by strong easterly winds.
