Relishing the rain: School children enjoying the downpour on their way home in New Delhi on Monday.
Will the unprecedented rain the Capital has received this monsoon ebb away before the Commonwealth Games begin on October 3? That is the question on everyone's lips.
Unfavourable conditions
But all that the weatherman is willing to commit is that the monsoon will not withdraw before September 21. The normal date for withdrawal of the monsoon in Delhi is September 20. The conditions for withdrawal of the monsoon are still not favourable, he added.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the next five days will see cloudy skies with the possibility of rain/thundershowers on Tuesday and Wednesday after which the rainfall is expected to decrease.
The city has so far received 888 mm of rainfall since July 5 when the monsoon hit the Capital, which is 283 mm more than usual. In September alone, the city has received 188 mm of rainfall so far, which is 90 mm more than the usual rain for this month.
