Rain, thunderstorm lash Delhi-NCR; bring respite from sweltering heat | India News
Delhi-NCR experienced a sudden change in weather as rain and thunderstorms swept across the region, bringing relief from rising temperatures. Areas including Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram witnessed gusty winds, lightning, and moderate rainfall, which helped cool down the atmosphere significantly. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier predicted such conditions, citing western disturbances as the main cause. While the showers improved air quality and lowered heat levels, they also led to waterlogging and traffic disruptions in several places. Commuters faced delays during peak hours as roads became slippery and visibility dropped. Officials have advised residents to remain cautious, especially during thunderstorms and strong winds. The changing weather pattern is expected to continue for a short period, offering temporary respite before temperatures begin to rise again in the coming days.
