“Delhi Radar shows persistence of clouds over Delhi and NCR region leading to the possibility of continuation of light to moderate spell of rainfall for another 2-3 hours at a few places over Delhi and NCR,” IMD tweeted.

The Met predicted generally cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle on Sunday.
