On Friday, Delhi's maximum temperature dropped to 35.8°C, nearly 5°C lower than the previous day's 40.5°C, primarily due to rain and strong winds. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted rain and thunderstorms, issuing a yellow alert, but significant rainfall was limited; Palam recorded 2.9mm, while other areas saw less than 1mm. The minimum temperature also decreased to 26°C from 29.7°C. For the weekend, light rain and thunderstorms are expected, maintaining maximum temperatures between 35°C and 38°C and minimums between 24°C and 26°C. Partly cloudy skies are anticipated until Sunday, with clearer conditions forecasted from Monday onward. This weather change has also positively impacted air quality, with the 24-hour average AQI recorded at 131, which is classified as 'moderate'. In early June, the AQI had shown a concerning rise, reaching 164 by June 4, but the recent rain has provided some relief.
