Delhi-NCR experienced a welcome respite from its recent heatwave as heavy rain and powerful thunderstorms hit the region on Thursday. The stormy weather brought dark clouds and strong winds, impacting numerous areas and providing much-needed relief from the sweltering temperatures.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, cautioning residents about potential rain, thunderstorms, and possible disruptions due to adverse weather conditions. Citizens are advised to keep abreast of official forecasts and exercise caution during this period.
In a related development, the IMD also confirmed the arrival of the southwest monsoon in Kerala, signaling the start of India’s annual four-month rainy season. This arrival aligns with the forecast window provided by the department, with expectations that the monsoon will gradually extend to other regions of the country in the upcoming weeks.
The precipitation in Delhi-NCR is anticipated to bring down temperatures and improve the overall weather conditions following days of extreme summer heat. Residents are likely to experience a cooler and more comfortable climate as the rain continues to make its presence felt.
