While a recent spell of rainfall has provided relief from the extreme heat in Delhi and North India, the wet spell in the region is likely to continue over the next week.

According to the India Meteorological Department, rainfall along with thunderstorms and gusty winds are likely in the northern states, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab.

The weather department has issued an orange alert for parts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, while a yellow alert has been issued for the larger part of the Indian subcontinent.

For Delhi, the IMD has predicted isolated to scattered rainfall over the next week, with partly cloudy skies and thunder and lightning expected on Sunday.

Weather experts have also warned of discomfort due to elevated humidity levels in the coming days.

The western disturbance, which caused rain in the Capital on Friday and Saturday, is expected to move away, reducing its impact on Delhi from Sunday onwards.

Isolated to scattered rainfall is also likely over other parts of the subcontinent, including Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, and Uttarakhand, as well as Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
