New Delhi: Delhi residents are likely to experience another warm and largely dry spell as the national capital’s temperature rises to around 36°C on Saturday, August 29. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast indicates partly cloudy skies and no rain in Delhi over the next few days.

Delhi Weather Today
Delhi is expected to see partly cloudy skies on Saturday, with the maximum temperature reaching 35-37°C and the minimum settling around 27-28°C.
Winds are expected to remain moderate, mainly from the southwest and west, but the weather is not expected to bring significant rainfall.
The combination of high temperatures and humidity could make conditions feel considerably warmer during the afternoon.
IMD Forecast For Next 5 Days
According to the IMD’s latest Delhi forecast:
| Date | Maximum | Minimum | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 29 | 35-37°C | 27-28°C | Partly cloudy, no rain |
| August 30 | 35-37°C | 25-27°C | Partly cloudy, no rain |
| August 31 | 35-37°C | 25-27°C | Partly cloudy, no rain |
| September 1 | 33-35°C | 24-26°C | Partly cloudy, no rain |
| September 2 | 32-34°C | 24-26°C | Generally cloudy; very light rain possible |
The IMD’s district-wise forecast shows broadly similar conditions across Delhi, with September 2 offering the first possibility of very light rain, particularly during the morning to forenoon period.
When Can Delhi Expect Rain?
The immediate outlook suggests that Delhi’s dry spell could continue through the beginning of September. The IMD forecast indicates no rain from August 29 through September 1, followed by a possibility of very light rain on September 2.
This marks a noticeable change from the wetter conditions experienced in parts of Delhi earlier in August.
Temperature May Ease From September 1
Although temperatures are expected to remain around 35-37°C through August 31, the mercury could gradually decline from September 1.
The maximum temperature is forecast at 33-35°C on September 1 and 32-34°C on September 2, suggesting some relief from the current heat.
However, residents may continue to experience uncomfortable conditions during the afternoon because of humidity and high daytime temperatures.
Delhi-NCR Weather
Similar warm and mostly dry conditions are expected across several parts of the National Capital Region, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad.
The IMD’s district-wise outlook indicates partly cloudy conditions across Delhi-NCR through September 1, with a possibility of very light rain on September 2.
Key Takeaways
