Residents of Delhi-NCR experienced a welcome reprieve from the scorching heat on Thursday as a powerful storm accompanied by heavy rains swept through several areas. The overcast skies and gusty winds that followed transformed the weather into a pleasant setting.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, cautioning about the likelihood of rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds in some regions. The department has advised people to stay informed about weather updates for their safety.
In another significant development, the IMD has announced the onset of the southwest monsoon in Kerala, marking the formal commencement of the country’s four-month-long monsoon season. The weather department predicts that the monsoon will gradually progress towards other parts of the nation in the coming days.
Experts suggest that the recent rainfall in Delhi-NCR will result in a drop in temperatures, providing much-needed relief from the intense heat that has persisted in recent days.
