Gurgaon: After a brief spell of monsoon last week, the city is likely to witness a warmer and more humid week, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting only isolated spells of rain or thundershowers and no major rainfall activity in the district over the next several days.IMD said Haryana is likely to witness isolated rainfall activity from July 13, with no weather warnings in place for the state after Sunday. While heavy rain has been forecast at isolated places in northern parts of Haryana on Sunday, no alerts have been issued for the following six days, indicating subdued monsoon activity.In Gurgaon, temperatures are expected to remain close to seasonal normal despite the monsoon. On Sunday, the city’s automatic weather station recorded a maximum temperature of 35.4 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 25.8 degrees Celsius, with no rainfall recorded during the 24 hours ending at 5.30pm.The forecast suggests partly cloudy skies with the possibility of one or two spells of rain or thundershowers, but prolonged or widespread rainfall is unlikely. Maximum temperatures are expected to stay around 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures are likely to remain between 26 degrees Celsius and 29 degrees Celsius, keeping humidity levels high and discomfort elevated.Across Haryana, only very light rain was reported at isolated places during the past 24 hours. The state’s average maximum temperature rose by 1.5 degrees Celsius compared with the previous day, though it remained within the normal range for this time of year.The relatively weak rainfall forecast comes after several days of active monsoon conditions that brought widespread showers to parts of Haryana, including Gurgaon. With rainfall expected to become scattered, residents are likely to experience hotter afternoons, even as brief showers may provide temporary relief in isolated areas.IMD has advised people to keep track of local forecasts as isolated thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds may still develop during the evening or night, even though no significant weather system is expected to affect Gurgaon in the coming days.
