NEW DELHI:
Delhi-NCR

western disturbance
, resulting in a decrease in
minimum temperatures

The IMD forecasted rain for both Friday and Saturday.
"There is an active western disturbance which will impact the region. From Friday, March 1 night onwards there would be light weather activity with very light rain.
However major impact is likely on Mar 2 with possibility of thunderstorm, strong winds and light to moderate rain. From Mar 3 onwards, the effect will wear off.
