New Delhi: Delhi-NCR has been experiencing light to heavy rains for the last two days, and the situation is likely to improve over the coming days. After receiving light rainfall on Sunday morning, the weather is expected to get cleared Monday onwards, predicted India Meteorological Department (IMD). 

The rains as per the Met department are due to western disturbances over “north Pakistan & neighbourhood in lower & middle tropospheric levels with a trough aloft in upper tropospheric,”  which have led to the formation of cyclonic circulation. 

Due to the same, light rainfall or snowfall in regions of Jammu and Kashmir and isolated rainfall or snowfall is expected in regions of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on Sunday.
