Just when the Delhi people had lost all their patience with the scorching summer sun, nature also decided to relent on them finally. On Saturday, Delhi-NCR was surprised as the sky grew dark, gusty winds blew, and rain poured down in heavy amounts, bringing about a dramatic change of mood in the city. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a warning in advance and well, they were absolutely correct.
Rain and wind uprooted a huge tree on Feroz Shah Road. It was scary and somehow comforting. For many residents, it was both a surprise and a sigh of relief finally, a break from the relentless heat, even if it came with chaos. The thunder, lightning, and even hailstones in a few areas were like nature restarting itself.
IMD Issues Rain & Storm Advisory
The IMD also released a new alert for Delhi and NCR forecasting thunderstorms, light to moderate rain, and gusty winds from June 16 to June 20. The change in weather is caused by the formation of a new western disturbance over North India and the disturbance will affect the region for two days.
But that’s not all. The department issued warnings of possible damage to transient dwellings, fallen trees, and loss of power. People are advised to be careful, especially in the mornings and during the day when traffic congestion and low visibility could be a great bother.
