Weather experts have said the monsoon is expected to yield good rainfall in Delhi in the first 10 days and help cover the rain deficit. Since June 1, Delhi has received 67 per cent less rainfall than normal, putting it in the category of "large deficient" states.
The minimum temperature was one notch above the season's average, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The city is likely to witness cloudy sky and light to moderate rain till June 21, the weather office said
On Monday, the city was in the grip of a punishing heatwave, with the maximum temperature settling at 46 degrees Celsius and above at many weather stations.
The weather office had issued a yellow alert Sunday morning and predicted clear skies over Delhi. The same conditions will prevail for the next four to five days, and temperatures will rise in Delhi, IMD added.
However, the silver lining is: Cloudy skies and thunder may provide some relief from the intense heat next week.
The maximum temperature in Delhi on Friday is likely to hover around 40 degrees Celsius.
The reason for such weather is attributed to the Western Disturbance which has an induced Cyclonic Circulation for Haryana and adjoining regions.

The relative humidity at 8.30 am was recorded at 48 per cent today.
