A yellow alert for rain and thunderstorms has been issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for today.
Residents of Delhi breathed a sigh of relief on Thursday as the intense heat was relieved by light rain and thunderstorms. Following a week of high temperatures and a three-day heatwave that reached temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius, the city experienced lovely weather thanks to the showers. The general weather conditions were greatly improved by the dust storms and high winds that accompanied the little rain. Lower-level circulation patterns and a western disturbance have been blamed for the weather shift.
