]]>The lower-level easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal have extended northwestwards, reaching up to Delhi, Haryana and east Rajasthan as on Saturday, the Met department said, adding that low-level relative humidity has also increased over the region.
Hence, the conditions continue to remain favourable for further advancement of southwest monsoon over Delhi, remaining parts of west Uttar Pradesh and some more parts of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan during the next 24 hours,” the IMD said.
Under the influence of these conditions, the department said fairly widespread to widespread rainfall is very likely over northwest India during the next five days.
