Saturday, 20 July 2019 | PTI | NEW DELHI

The mercury and humidity levels rose in the national Capital in the absence of rain on Friday. The weatherman said not much rain is likely in the city in the next two to three days. However, the maximum temperature is going to remain below 36 degrees Celsius due to “cloudy conditions and thundery developments”.

The national capital witnessed rains over the last three days that resulted in a drop in temperatures and pollution levels.

On Friday, the Safdarjung Observatory, which provides official figures for the city, recorded a high of 36.4 degrees Celsius, two notches more than normal, and a low of 25 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels oscillated between 53 and 93 per cent. Overcast skies and light rains are likely Saturday and the maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to settle at 35 and 25 degrees Celsius respectively.

According to the Central Pollution Control Board, Delhi’s air quality was recorded in the “moderate” category with an air quality index of 145.
