An upper air cyclonic circulation over Northwest India is leading to a lot of moisture,which may cause some light showers on Tuesday as well. “November is the transition time between summer and winter and it is usually accompanied by changes in the weather like sudden rain and sunshine,” said an official at the Safdarjung Met department.
