The national capital, Delhi, is likely to experience rain and thunderstorms starting Thursday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This weather change is attributed to a western disturbance that is expected to affect the region, bringing relief from the recent heat.
Weather Forecast Details
The IMD has predicted light to moderate rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds in Delhi and its adjoining areas. The maximum temperature is likely to hover around 36 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature will be around 24 degrees Celsius. The weather is expected to remain cloudy with intermittent rain spells.
Impact on Daily Life
The rain is likely to provide much-needed respite from the scorching heat that has been prevailing in the city. However, commuters may face inconvenience due to waterlogging and traffic congestion. Authorities have advised residents to stay cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during heavy downpours.
Western Disturbance Influence
A western disturbance, as a weather system originating from the Mediterranean region, is responsible for the change in weather patterns. It brings moisture and causes precipitation in northern India. The IMD has also issued a yellow alert for several districts, urging people to be prepared for possible disruptions.
As the monsoon season approaches, such weather events are common in Delhi. The IMD continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary. Residents are advised to keep an eye on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions.
