India, July 9 -- The city is likely to witness showers in the early hours of Wednesday, as a yellow alert for light to moderate rain in the city, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.

Rain eluded most of the city on Tuesday, with only a spell of light rain recorded in northwest Delhi's Mungeshpur. With the monsoon trough remaining close to Delhi-NCR and a western disturbance influencing northwest India, there are chances of scattered light to moderate overnight showers across Delhi-NCR, officials said.

"We have mostly been seeing overnight activity. There are chances of some rain in the early hours of Wednesday and similar spells may occur towards Wednesday night," said an IMD official.
