On Sunday, the capital city woke up to light rain and the mercury settled at 28.6 degrees Celsius, a notch above the season's average, the IMD said. On Saturday, the maximum temperature in the national capital settled at 39.2 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature settled at 27.6 degrees Celsius.

Earleir, IMD has said the southwest monsoon is expected to move farther into the southern peninsula and eastern regions of the country starting on June 18. Cyclone Biparjoy has fully separated itself from the monsoonal flow, and the IMD said would not affect the development of the seasonal rainfall system.

Meanwhile, the remnant of the cyclonic storm Biparjoy which created a depression over central parts of East Rajasthan is likely to move nearly east-northeastwards and maintain its intensity of depression during the next 12 hours, said IMD.

On Sunday, heavy rain lashed parts of Rajasthan's Barmer district under the influence of cyclonic storm Biparjoy. Severe waterlogging and a flood-like situation were seen at various places.
