New Delhi: The national capital witnessed light rains on Monday evening after a warm day and more showers are expected in the 24 hours.
The minimum temperature in the city rose slightly due to a cloud cover lingering over the city, weather experts said.
However, temperatures are expected to dip over the next three to four days due to rains under the influence of a western disturbance.
The city recorded a high of 19.1 degrees Celsius, normal for this time of the year, a low of 9.9 degrees Celsius, three notches more than normal, the India Meteorological Department said.
Rains are expected in north India between January 7 and 9, which will lead to a dip in the mercury in Delhi. The minimum temperature may fall to 5 to 6 degrees Celsius by January 9 in the city, the weather experts said.
On Tuesday, light rains, thundershower and hailstorm, with winds gusting up to 20-25 kmph, are expected in the city towards the evening.
