Residents across Delhi-NCR experienced a welcome respite from the sweltering heat on Thursday as a powerful storm accompanied by heavy rainfall swept through the region. The skies were blanketed with dense clouds, and strong winds brought a much-needed change in the weather, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, indicating the likelihood of rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds in some areas. The department advises people to stay informed about weather updates to prepare for the impending conditions.
Simultaneously, the IMD announced the onset of the southwest monsoon in Kerala, signaling the formal commencement of the four-month-long monsoon season across India. According to the weather department, the monsoon is expected to gradually advance to other parts of the country in the coming days.
Experts believe that the recent rainfall in Delhi-NCR will lead to a drop in temperatures, providing relief from the intense heat that the region has been experiencing in recent days.
