Historically Delhi records over 50 per cent of its rainfall in the months of June and July. 2019 is, however, turning out to be one of the driest monsoons in the recent past.
Spells of rain from Monday to Wednesday could be a short-lived respite as the capital is expected to experience another dry spell around July 20-July 22.
