Parts of Delhi and the Delhi-NCR region see rainfall that provides relief from ongoing warm and humid weather. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues alerts for thunderstorms, indicating the rain may come with lightning and strong winds. One report describes light rain arriving with a “red alert” for thunderstorms and gusts that may reach speeds of up to 70 km/h, alongside the possibility of hail in isolated areas. Residents are advised to follow disaster management guidelines. Another report says IMD also issues a “yellow alert” for the day, noting “very light to light rain” accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning during the night.
While the immediate weather is improving through rainfall, the IMD warnings highlight continuing risk of severe weather conditions, including gusty winds and isolated hail. The alerts reflect expectations that thunderstorm activity will accompany the rain spells across parts of the region over the next several hours.
