Above is a satellite image of New Delhi taken 21 March 2014 at 13:35 local time.  As you can see in the imagery, there is minimal cloud cover in the vicinity of New Delhi.  The few clouds that are visible are likely low warm clouds.  The terrain around New Delhi looks to be mostly dry with sparse vegetation. 



For the regional map, there are multiple high and low pressure systems located across the Asian continent.  Three high pressure systems can be seen with two located over Kazakhstan and one located over eastern China near Shanghai.   Barometric pressure readings for all three high pressure systems are approximately 1024 mb.  The high pressure systems are located aft of two cold fronts moving across the Asian continent from west to east.  There are numerous low pressure systems located on the map, however the most prominent one is situated east of Hokkaido, Japan.  



Once zoomed into India, there is minimal pressure difference across the entire subcontinent.  Pressure readings are around 1012 mb with only a slight drop to 1008 mb near the northwestern border with Pakistan.  There are no visible fronts, high, or low pressure systems over India at this time.
