RK Jenamani, IMD's Senior Scientist said that the Western disturbances have moved away and the monsoon will not be coming till July 7-8, this year. However, he informed break or weak monsoon will continue in parts of the country till July 8.

"On Saturday, we had a widespread rainfall, while yesterday it was only restricted to North Delhi and it was a good rain spell of about 32 mm. Now it will reduce. Today onwards, the temperature will start rising gradually. However, temperature as high as 42.6 degree Celsius may not be recorded but it will reach 40-40.5 degree Celsius in the next 2-3 days," the IMD official told ANI.

Due to Western disturbance moving away, there is no rain prediction and similar weather conditions will prevail in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, he said.
