The heat has subsided, but now there’s a threat of a storm! Winds will blow at speeds of up to 50 km/h in Delhi; the Meteorological Department issues a major warning: Clouds will continue in Delhi-NCR even today: IMD issues ‘Orange Alert’ of rain and strong storm

The changed weather pattern has come as a big relief for the people of Delhi-NCR, troubled by the scorching heat and heat wave for the last several days. Even on Friday, May 29, the sky will remain cloudy in the capital. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an ‘Orange Alert’ of severe thunderstorm with rain and thundershowers for Delhi and its surrounding areas. The Meteorological Department estimates that the weather of Delhi will remain unstable for the next two days, hence people have been advised to be prepared for possible storms.

Due to this relief rain, there has been a huge fall in the mercury of Delhi. Today the maximum temperature of Delhi is expected to be 36 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature can be recorded around 24 degrees Celsius, which is quite comfortable compared to the previous days.

How will the weather be from morning to evening?

According to meteorologists, there is every possibility of light to moderate rain, lightning and strong winds at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour in different parts of the capital from this morning. The weather condition will remain the same in the afternoon and evening also, that is, intermittent showers will continue to fall.

Safdarjung, Palam and many adjoining areas of Delhi have already received considerable rainfall, due to which the effect of the scorching heatwave that has been going on for the last several days has been completely eliminated. However, the Meteorological Department has also warned that strong winds with a speed of up to 50 km/hour may affect daily work, flights and traffic. This is why officials have advised people not to leave their homes unnecessarily during bad weather.
