According to an India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast last week, cloudy skies, rainfall and thunderstorms were estimated over Delhi during this time of the week, due to an active western disturbance.
The phenomenon is typical for the month of May as temperatures recorded were 10 degrees below the normal for this time of the year. It should be noted that the national capital recorded a cooler-than-usual April, with maximum temperature hitting 28.7 degrees Celsius on April 30.
On May 1, the maximum temperature declined to 26.1 degrees Celsius, 13 degrees Celsius below the average temperature for this time of the year owing to monsoon-like conditions. Meanwhile, the minimum temperature on the day was below average, 19.6 degrees Celsius, five notches below the long-period average.
