Thursday brought much-needed relief from the scorching heat for residents of Delhi-NCR as several areas experienced a sudden spell of strong winds and heavy rain. The skies were overcast with dense clouds, and the gusty winds along with the rainfall created a pleasant change in the weather.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, forecasting rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds in some regions. The department has advised people to stay updated with the latest weather information and take necessary precautions.
In a significant development, the IMD has also announced the arrival of the southwest monsoon in Kerala, marking the official start of the four-month-long monsoon season across the country. According to the weather department, the monsoon is expected to gradually advance to other parts of India in the coming days.
Experts suggest that the rainfall in Delhi-NCR will lead to a drop in temperatures, offering respite from the intense heatwave conditions that have persisted in recent days. As the monsoon progresses, it is likely to bring further relief to the heat-stricken regions.
