Preparations are underway across the country to celebrate Vijayadashami with great pomp and show today. Dussehra celebrations are being held with great enthusiasm in Delhi, but rain may spoil the festivities. Amid seasonal fluctuations, the weather in Delhi is expected to change on Dussehra Thursday. Cloudy skies are expected throughout the day, with thunderstorms, lightning, and light rain likely in the afternoon or evening. How will the weather be for the next three days? However, the weather will remain dry for three days from Friday to Sunday, with a return of heat. After this, the weather will change again on Monday and Tuesday. Rain is also expected, accompanied by strong winds. Earlier, heavy rains lashed Delhi on Tuesday, bringing relief from the scorching heat and humid weather. On Wednesday, clouds played hide and seek, but the sun shone. There was no rain throughout the day. Heavy rains damaged Ravana effigies In some parts of Delhi, heavy rains on Tuesday damaged the giant Ravana effigies being prepared for the Dussehra celebrations. The work of making Ravana effigies in Titarpur begins weeks before Dussehra. However, the rain caused significant damage to the effigies in Titarpur. Videos shared on social media show material scattered on the pavement, with effigies of Ravana artisans trying to salvage what remains. Near the Rajouri Garden area, a Ravana effigy appeared to be collapsing, its soaked face bent, the wooden frame buckling under the pressure of water, and the paint peeling off. No Rain in September The lack of rain in Delhi during this monsoon season in September caused temperatures to soar significantly. According to the India Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature on Monday reached 37.5 degrees Celsius. Just a day earlier, on Sunday, Delhi recorded a temperature of 38.1 degrees Celsius, the hottest day in September in the last two years. What will the weather be like in Bengal on Vijayadashami? According to the Meteorological Department, a low pressure area is expected to bring heavy rain to parts of southern West Bengal on Thursday, Vijayadashami. The Meteorological Department has stated that a low pressure area is likely to form over the central Bay of Bengal on Wednesday.
