New Delhi: Moon Rise Time in Delhi NCR: Weather-related news is important for women waiting to see the moon on Karwa Chauth. The weather is expected to change in Delhi-NCR on Thursday. The sky may become cloudy, with rain and strong winds possible. This could pose problems for women waiting to see the moon in the evening. The Meteorological Department has issued a warning for rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds for Delhi and surrounding areas.

The weather will change due to the effect of Cyclone Arnab

The impact of Cyclone Arnab has altered the weather in many parts of the country. Rain and strong winds are also expected in Delhi-NCR due to its impact. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the sky in Delhi is expected to remain generally cloudy on October 29th. Light to moderate rain is expected in many areas. Thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds are also possible.

According to the Meteorological Department, rain is possible at different times of the day. In addition to the morning and afternoon, the weather is also likely to deteriorate in the evening. Wind speeds could reach 30 to 40 kilometers per hour in some areas, with gusts even stronger in some areas. Therefore, it will be important to monitor the weather during the Karwa Chauth puja and moonrise.

Will the moon not be visible on Karwa Chauth?

The biggest question on the minds of women observing the Karwa Chauth fast is whether they will be able to see the moon in the evening. Indeed, clouds in the sky at the time of moonrise can make it difficult to see it. If a thick layer of clouds covers an area, the moon may not be visible for some time even after it rises.

However, based on the forecast of rain and clouds, it’s not accurate to say that the moon won’t be visible in Delhi-NCR. Weather conditions can vary from region to region. In some areas, the moon may be visible once the clouds clear, while in others, the wait may be extended due to clouds. Therefore, the exact time of moonrise should not be taken as the exact time of its clearest visibility. The time of moonrise and the time of its being obscured by clouds are two different things.

Temperature will also drop

Daytime temperatures are expected to drop in Delhi-NCR due to rain and cloud cover. The weather department forecasts maximum temperatures around 26 to 28 degrees Celsius on October 29. Previously, daytime temperatures were higher. There is also a possibility of rain and thunderstorms on October 30th. After this, the sky may remain partly cloudy on October 31st. This means that the impact of the weather change may not be limited to the evening of Karwa Chauth; rain may be seen in some areas the next day as well.

At what time will the moon of Karwa Chauth rise in Delhi-NCR?

The moonrise time on Karwa Chauth varies by city. The moon is expected to rise at 8:17 pm on October 29th in Delhi. Moonrise in Noida is expected to occur at 8:16 pm and in Gurugram at 8:18 pm. Moonrise and clear visibility times may vary. If the sky is overcast, the moon may not be visible even after it rises. In such cases, women may have to wait for some time.

If the moon is not visible on Karwa Chauth, break the fast like this

On Karwa Chauth, if the moon is not visible due to clouds even after the moonrise time has passed, women observing the fast should wait a while. If the moon is still not visible, check the moonrise time and direction in your city’s almanac.

1. First of all complete the worship of Lord Ganesha, Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva.
2. After the scheduled time of moonrise in your city has passed, stand facing the direction of the moon.
3. Fill a pot with water, remember the Moon God, and offer water with devotion. After this, pray for your husband’s long life and the happiness and prosperity of your family.
4. After this, visit a picture or statue of Lord Shiva. The moon is placed on Lord Shiva’s forehead, so some families follow the tradition of breaking the fast by worshipping Lord Shiva in this position.
5. After the puja, you can break your fast by drinking water from your husband’s hand.
