Temperature dips

Even as the cyclone, blowing in a North-Northwesterly direction, leaves a trail of devastation in Rajasthan and Gujarat, Delhi is not likely to be adversely affected. With the cyclone already showing signs of weakening, it seems unlikely that the city will be hit by rain in the next 48 hours.

Delhiites can expect a couple of cool days, with humidity staying under control as well. At 5.30 p.m. the humidity recorded by the Met Department was 31 per cent. The average humidity between June 10-14 at 5.30 p.m. is 29 per cent and at present Delhi seems to be heading that way.

After the hot summer of 8217;98, the city is finally set to get a brief reprieve from the heat.
