Thunderstorms, Rain Expected Throughout Week; Citizens Warned Caution
New Delhi: Monsoon has finally hit Delhi-NCR, providing people with relief from the blistering heat. With moderate rain showers on Sunday, the weather turned nice, although humidity levels still trouble people. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for Monday and forecasted that rainfall activity could persist till the first week of July.
There will be cloudy weather with light to moderate rain and thunderstorms on Monday. The humidity levels can increase up to 95%, causing sticky and unpleasant weather. The IMD has asked people to be careful under the yellow alert, warning people not to go out to open fields, high grounds, and remain under trees when lightning occurs.
As per meteorologists, monsoon activity will continue to prevail over Delhi-NCR from June 30th to July 5th. Throughout this time, cloudy weather will rule, and high atmospheric humidity will ensure that the atmosphere remains humid day and night. The weather forecast says that daytime and nighttime conditions can continue to be heavy and unbearable with widespread humidity.
The IMD has forecasted that on July 1st and 2nd, it will remain overcast with light to moderate rain in some places. From July 3rd to July 5th, widespread rain with thunderstorms and light to moderate showers are predicted. Such weather conditions are likely to cause localized waterlogging, traffic congestion, and likely power supply problems in certain areas of the city.
Temperatures are expected to range between 32°C and 34°C during the day, and 25°C to 27°C at night. Temperature changes will be minimal due to the persistent cloudy weather, but excessive humidity will make the air feel muggy and sticky.
The IMD has advised people to stay informed about rain alerts, limit outside activity unless absolutely necessary, and take precautions during the storm. Although rain is a god’s gift for farmers and the environment, it also provides a pleasant break from the oppressive heat for city people.
