Delhi weather update: Expect dust storms, thunderclouds, light rain, and a much-needed drop in temperature. Here’s how Delhi’s heatwave will ease over the next six days.

A Dusty Twist in Delhi’s Summer Story

So Delhiites brace yourselves, not for a heat wave but a dust storm! The weather is also transforming, with winds of 40-60 km/h whipping through the city. There’s also a possibility of lightning lighting up the skies and a fair chance of widespread thunderstorm activity with lightning, it might sprinkle too to leave both Delhiites and NCR residents asking for more. With maximum and minimum temperatures likely to be 42 and 29°C respectively – the good news is, no heatwave this Friday either, but a yellow alert still looms high in the air.

Next 6 Days: Summer Presses Pause

The Indian Meteorological Department says the next six days will bring a milder sort of season. The high heat is likely to recede from June 18 with the maximum temperature likely to drop to 37°C and minimum to a pleasant 26°C. For a city that’s been sizzling under highs of about 44°C, this is a welcome change.
