nHigh humidity gave a hard time to Delhiites on Thursday as rains continued to evade most parts of the city.
The national capital recorded a high of 36.4 degrees Celsius, two notches more than normal, and a low of 28.3 degrees Celsius.
The humidity levels shot up to 91 per cent during the day.
Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather said west Delhi witnessed a short spell of rains due to high humidity. Patchy showers are likely for the next two to three days.
No weather system is active in the region. Therefore, possibility of good, widespread rains is bleak, he said.
Rains are expected on September 9 and 10, which could possibly be the
last showers before the monsoon starts to retreat, Palawat said.
The Centre-run System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research recorded the city's overall air quality in the "satisfactory" category, with an air quality index (AQI) of 85.
