Delhi-NCR experienced a significant weather shift on Thursday as heavy rain and powerful thunderstorms swept through the region, providing much-needed relief from the intense heatwave that had gripped the area. The sudden change in weather brought dark clouds and strong winds, impacting several localities with rainfall.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, cautioning residents about the likelihood of continued rain, thunderstorms, and potential disruptions related to the weather. Authorities are urging people to stay informed with official weather updates and to take necessary safety measures during such adverse conditions.
This weather development coincides with the IMD’s announcement of the southwest monsoon’s arrival over Kerala, signifying the commencement of India’s annual four-month rainy season. The monsoon’s onset occurred within the forecast period provided by meteorologists, and it is anticipated to progressively cover other regions of the country in the upcoming weeks.
The rainfall in Delhi-NCR is expected to bring down the high temperatures and offer a respite from the intense summer heat that the region has been enduring for several days.
