On Thursday, parts of Delhi-NCR were hit by heavy rain and intense thunderstorms, offering much-needed relief from the region’s recent extreme heat wave. The sky turned dark with thick clouds as strong winds and rain swept through several areas, bringing a welcomed change in weather.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has put out a yellow alert for the next two days, indicating the likelihood of more rain, thunderstorms, and potential disruptions due to the weather. Residents have been advised to stay informed through official weather forecasts and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during these adverse conditions.
In a related development, the IMD announced the arrival of the southwest monsoon over Kerala, signaling the start of India’s annual four-month rainy season. The monsoon’s arrival was within the predicted timeframe set by the weather department and is anticipated to gradually spread to other parts of the country in the coming weeks.
The rainfall in Delhi-NCR is expected to bring down temperatures, providing relief from the oppressive summer heat experienced over the past few days. This change in weather is anticipated to improve conditions, making it more bearable for residents who have been enduring the sweltering temperatures.
