India, June 28 -- After an unusually hot spell and a delayed onset of the southwest monsoon, Delhi and several parts of north India may finally be in for relief.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday said conditions are favourable for the monsoon to advance further across northern states over the next five to six days, while warning that heatwave conditions are likely to continue in parts of Uttar Pradesh for now, according to a PTI report.

According to the IMD, the monsoon is expected to cover more parts of the North Arabian Sea, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand over the next two to three days.

Private weather forecaster Skymet said Delhi is likely to receive the monsoon by July 4 if conditions remain favourable.
