On Thursday, heavy rains and powerful thunderstorms swept through various parts of Delhi-NCR, providing much-needed relief from the recent stretch of intense heat in the region. The skies turned dark with looming clouds, as gusty winds and rainfall impacted numerous areas, bringing respite to residents.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next 48 hours, cautioning of more rain, thunderstorms, and potential weather-related disruptions. Authorities have urged residents to stay informed through official weather updates and adopt necessary precautions to ensure safety during these adverse conditions.
In a related development, the IMD has confirmed the onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala, signaling the start of India’s annual rainy season, which typically lasts for four months. The monsoon’s arrival aligns with the forecast provided by meteorologists, and it is anticipated to gradually move across other regions of the country in the forthcoming weeks.
The rainfall in Delhi-NCR is expected to bring down temperatures and enhance the overall weather situation after enduring several days of sweltering summer heat. This shift in weather patterns offers a much-needed break for the residents who have been grappling with the oppressive heat.
