According to Skymet Weather, the weather condition originated in the southwest of Delhi and is moving towards western Uttar Pradesh. Temperature in Delhi-NCR is likely to drop further during the night. Heavy rain intensity that was covered Delhi-NCR this evening is likely to return in the next two days.
