Delhi-NCR Weather Update: Dust Storms and Rain Expected This Week, IMD Issues Yellow Alert

Delhi-NCR residents, get ready for a week of fluctuating weather! The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for dust storms and rain across the Delhi-NCR region, impacting the area for the next few days.

Following Wednesday night's storm, which brought strong winds, rain, and even hail, the weather has provided some respite from the scorching heat. However, the IMD forecasts a return to unsettled conditions, with rain expected for four days this week. A yellow alert, indicating a potential for disruption, is in place for dust storms on two of those days.

Today, May 23rd, Delhi-NCR can expect thunderstorms, dust storms, light rain, lightning, and strong winds gusting up to 30-40 km per hour. The maximum temperature is predicted to be around 37 degrees Celsius, with a minimum of 26 degrees. Similar conditions are anticipated for May 24th, with the yellow alert extending to Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar.

Looking ahead, the weather will continue to shift. May 25th will bring partly cloudy skies and the possibility of lightning, with temperatures hovering around 38 and 27 degrees Celsius. A heatwave yellow alert has been issued for Faridabad and Gurugram on this day. May 26th will see partly cloudy conditions and a potential rise in the maximum temperature to 40 degrees.

The most significant change is expected on May 27th, with a forecast of storms across Delhi-NCR. The maximum temperature is expected to be 38 degrees Celsius, and the minimum 29 degrees. Yellow alerts are also in place for Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Gurugram, and Faridabad. Thundershowers are possible on May 28th, followed by partly cloudy weather on May 29th, with maximum temperatures between 38-40 degrees and minimums around 29 degrees.

BNN's Perspective: While the fluctuating weather patterns can be disruptive, the predicted rain offers a welcome break from the intense heat. It's a reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather and the importance of staying informed about alerts and forecasts.
