NEW DELHI: This was largely down to light to moderate showers being recorded through the month and the early arrival of the southwest monsoon, which ended Delhi’s monthly total rainfall for June at 101.7mm — its highest since June 2017, when 191.9mm was recorded. “In terms of the average monthly maximum, this is the coolest June since 2008. The temperature was regulated by light spells of pre-monsoon rain in the first half of the month and we have seen significant activity in the last week, since the arrival of the monsoon on June 25,” said Kuldeep Srivastava, scientist at IMD.
The average monthly maximum of 37°C was two degrees lower than the long-period average (LPA), which stood at 39°C. Delhi’s average monthly minimum, meanwhile, was clocked at 25.9°C, which was 1.8 degrees lower than the LPA of 27.7°C. This was also the second consecutive month that over 100mm of rain was recorded, with 111mm recorded in May.
