The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also predicted light rain and generally cloudy on June 15 and June 16 in Delhi
"The cyclone in the Arabian Sea, after making landfall on June 15, may bring scattered unseasonal rains over Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttarakhand and west Uttar Pradesh in the third week of June," Skymet Weather said
The IMD had last month predicted normal to below-normal monsoon in northwest India which could mean more drier and hotter days in Delhi going ahead
In June, normal to above-normal maximum temperatures are likely across most parts of the country, except for the extreme north and some parts of the southern peninsular region, it had said
The IMD had earlier predicted a delay of four days in the monsoon onset over Kerala. However, the cyclone in the Arabian Sea delayed it further
