Residents of Delhi-NCR experienced a welcome respite from the intense heat on Thursday as a strong storm accompanied by heavy rains swept through various parts of the region. The sky turned overcast with thick clouds, and the ensuing downpour, driven by strong winds, brought about a pleasant change in the weather.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next two days, indicating the likelihood of rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds in certain areas. They have advised the public to stay updated with weather forecasts and warnings during this period.
Simultaneously, the IMD has announced the onset of the southwest monsoon in Kerala, marking the official beginning of the four-month-long monsoon season in the country. According to the weather department, the monsoon is expected to gradually advance to other parts of India in the coming days.
Experts suggest that the rainfall experienced in Delhi-NCR is likely to lead to a decrease in temperatures, providing much-needed relief from the sweltering heat that has been prevalent in recent days. Residents are hopeful for a cooler climate as the monsoon progresses.
