The weather department on Tuesday projected that there is no chance of monsoon in Delhi for the next five days. However, the IMD senior scientist RK Jenamani said that the discomfort because of moisture and humidity will decrease because of the westerly winds.
“For at least the next five days there is no chance (of monsoon) in Delhi. We’re monitoring the situation.
