The hot and humid weather earlier this week had troubled the residents of Delhi.

At the Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi's primary weather station, a minimum temperature of 25.2 degrees Celsius was recorded on Thursday, while the maximum temperature settled at 35 degrees Celsius.

Earlier on Friday, the IMD issued a rainfall notice for several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, and other parts of the Delhi NCR. According to the most recent IMD weather data, significant rainfall is expected in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh over the next two days. Additionally, heavy rains are expected to fall in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand over the next five days.

Bihar would experience two days of heavy rain this week, with waterlogging expected in a number of locations. The weather forecast predicts heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand from August 3 to August 7.

Mild rain and a temperature drop to 25 degrees Celsius are predicted for Delhi and the NCR regions over the next three days. According to the forecast, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, and other areas may experience light rain on a regular basis. Since last month's floods in the nation's capital, which were caused by rising Yamuna water levels, intense monsoon rains have plagued the Delhi NCR and northern states.
