Cloudy sky in Delhi with chance of duststorm

Holding out some respite from the unrelenting sun, the weather office said Wednesday that Delhiites were likely to witness a cloudy day with the possibility of duststorm and rain.

"There is a possibility of dust and thunder storm. The national capital can expect partly cloudy sky," an official of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

The minimum temperature was recorded at 27.5 degrees Celsius, two degrees higher than Tuesday's 25.3 degree Celsius.

The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 41 degrees Celsius, two degrees below Tuesday's 42.8 degrees Celsius.

Delhi was lashed by a duststorm Tuesday evening. "There were winds blowing across the city and they reached around 44 kmph. There is a possibility of scanty rain in some parts of the city," the official said.
