NEW DELHI: Residents of Delhi NCR are advised to prepare for another two days of inclement weather, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a continuation of showers and thunderstorms on June 24 and 25. The capital and its neighboring cities, including Gurgaon and Faridabad, are under a yellow alert, indicating the likelihood of heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds throughout the day.
According to the IMD‘s latest forecast, Tuesday (June 24) is expected to see multiple rounds of rainfall across various parts of Delhi. “During morning – Light to Moderate Rainfall, Thunderstorm accompanied with lightning & gusty winds (30–40 kmph),” stated the IMD, adding that this pattern is likely to repeat in the forenoon, afternoon, evening, and night. This consistent spell of wet weather is a welcome respite from the scorching heat that had gripped the region for weeks.
The Delhi weather today is already showing signs of this pattern, with overcast skies and a noticeable drop in temperature. The yellow alert issued for Gurgaon and Faridabad signifies that these areas are also susceptible to heavy rainfall and associated weather phenomena like thunderstorms and lightning. Authorities are advising commuters to exercise caution, as waterlogging and traffic disruptions are possible in low-lying areas.
This current spell of rain is indicative of the impending monsoon season. The IMD has further indicated that conditions are favorable for the advancement of the southwest monsoon over Delhi and surrounding regions, including Chandigarh, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir, within the next two days. If this forecast holds true, it could mark Delhi’s earliest monsoon onset since 2013, a significant deviation from recent years where the monsoon arrived later in July.
While the rains bring much-needed relief, citizens are urged to stay informed about local advisories and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during the ongoing spell of stormy weather.
