However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has not predicted any rainfall for the week.

As per IMD, the monsoon started withdrawing from parts of west Rajasthan on Sunday, three days ahead of its usual schedule of September 17. While it takes about a week for withdrawal to start from Delhi, officials have not mentioned any specific date so far. Meanwhile, the IMD has predicted partly cloudy skies for the week.

“The maximum and minimum temperatures will be around 35 and 25 degrees Celsius, respectively and partly cloudy skies are expected throughout the week,” an IMD official said.
