The monsoon is now likely to hit the capital by this weekend and extend till the beginning of next week.
The earliest onset of monsoon over Delhi during the past 30 years was on June 15, 2008 and while the most delayed onset was on July 26, 1987.
During monsoon, if the city gets 645.7 mm rains it is considered normal for the capital, MeT officials said.
