Delhi-NCR experienced a dramatic shift in weather on Thursday as heavy rain and thunderstorms swept through the region, providing much-needed relief from the recent severe heatwave. The skies turned dark with thick clouds, accompanied by strong winds and showers that affected various localities.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, signaling the possibility of continued rain, thunderstorms, and potential disruptions due to adverse weather. Officials have urged residents to stay informed through official forecasts and take necessary precautions during the inclement weather.
In a related development, the IMD has also declared the onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala, marking the commencement of India’s annual rainy season, which lasts for four months. The arrival of the monsoon is within the predicted timeline set by the weather department, and it is anticipated to gradually progress to other regions across the nation in the coming weeks.
The recent rainfall in Delhi-NCR is expected to alleviate the scorching temperatures and improve the weather conditions after enduring several days of intense summer heat. This relief is particularly welcome given the extreme temperatures that have dominated the area recently.
