On Sunday, the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 36 degrees Celsius, while the minimum may settle at 25 degrees Celsius.

"The IMD said mostly clear conditions are expected to continue through the week, marking the withdrawal phase of the southwest monsoon from northwestern India. Earlier this month, brief monsoon showers had provided some respite from the intense heat and humidity, but with rainfall tapering off, Delhi is likely to return to warmer, drier conditions.
