On Thursday, Delhi-NCR experienced a welcome respite from the recent heatwave as heavy rain and strong thunderstorms swept through the region. The skies were shrouded in dark clouds, accompanied by powerful winds and rainfall impacting several localities.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the following two days, predicting more rain, thunderstorms, and potential disruptions due to the weather. Residents are urged to remain vigilant, keeping abreast of the latest official weather updates and taking necessary precautions to ensure safety during these adverse conditions.
In a related development, the IMD declared the arrival of the southwest monsoon over Kerala, signaling the start of India’s annual four-month rainy season. This monsoon onset occurred within the predicted timeframe provided by the meteorological department and is anticipated to gradually extend to other regions of the country in the upcoming weeks.
The rainfall in Delhi-NCR is anticipated to bring down the temperatures, offering much-needed relief from the intense summer heat that has gripped the area in recent days. This change in weather conditions is expected to improve the overall climate for residents who have been enduring sweltering temperatures.
