Rain in Delhi?

I noticed that in another thread people have mentioned that the monsoon finally seems to have hit Delhi. I arrive there for the first time on Thursday. How bad is the rain just now? Are we going to get soaked all day everyday?

mercedes, according to BBC, it is going to be sunny 43C on Thursday: add this link to yr fav

you'll be praying for rain!

According to their average conditions July is the rainy month in Delhi... with 8 days of rain per month on average... Thursday is not one of them...

Thanks Volga. The weather link from this site gives a different prediction to the BBC so I guess I'll have to wait and see who's right!!

43C - AAAArRRgGhhHHHHH!!!! ;-) I think I might melt or explode or something!!

only 3 days to go ..... :-)

It seems there will be some IM-ers in Delhi. Allready here, of arriving soon. I myself arrived last night.

Been following this forum for awhile now. And it gave me some really good advice.

Anybody interested in a meeting?
I will be around for a few more days and then leaving for probably Agra.

I'm staying in Paharganj. In the Star Paradise.

Hope to hear from anybody soon.
