According to the IMD, wind speeds of 40-50 kmph are expected across Delhi, while isolated areas could experience gusts reaching up to 60-70 kmph during intense weather activity. Some locations may also witness brief hailstorms.
The rain brought welcome respite to Delhiites who had been enduring hot and humid conditions over the past several days. The maximum temperature remained around 38-39 degrees Celsius, staying below the 40-degree mark due to cloud cover and rainfall.
Weather experts said the change is linked to active pre-monsoon systems and moisture-laden winds affecting northern India. These conditions are likely to keep temperatures in check and prevent severe heatwave conditions in the immediate future.
The IMD has forecast intermittent rainfall and cloudy skies through Friday, with weather activity likely to continue into the weekend. Residents have been advised to remain cautious during thunderstorms and avoid taking shelter under trees or weak structures during periods of strong winds.
With more showers expected, Delhi is set to enjoy a cooler and more comfortable start to June.
