Delhi Weather Update: Rain and Thunderstorms Expected This Week
Weather Alert for Delhi
Delhi: On Tuesday, May 20, the national capital is set to experience significant rainfall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert due to anticipated thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds. This shift in weather is linked to an active western disturbance and an upper air cyclonic circulation affecting nearby states such as Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Recently, Delhi has seen light rain and thundershowers, resulting in a slight decrease in maximum temperatures, which have remained below 45°C. Although these conditions have provided some respite from the intense heat, the humidity has made the days uncomfortable for many residents.
