The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow warning due to the recent rainstorm that hit Delhi on Monday.
On Monday, Delhi’s daytime temperature was moderated by the brisk breezes and gloomy sky.
What claims the IMD?
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a heatwave is unlikely to occur in the area until June 4.
An IMD official informed news agency PTI that gusty winds with speeds of up to 50 kmph swept the national capital in the afternoon and that light rain was seen in some locations.
On May 30 and May 31, a new western disturbance is expected to hit the city, bringing with it strong winds, rain, and hail in certain areas. Up until June 4, the highest temperature is forecast to be below 40 degrees.
People have been advised by the weather service to expect traffic delays and flooding in low-lying regions.
The IMD utilises four colour codes for issuing weather warnings: green (no action is required), yellow (watch and remain updated), orange (be prepared), and red (take action).
The highest temperature in Delhi was 35 degrees Celsius, five degrees below average, according to the Safdarjung Observatory, the city’s main meteorological station.
The lowest temperature recorded was 21.5 degrees Celsius, which is five degrees below average.
May, usually the warmest month in the city, has had below-average temperatures and an abundance of rain this year. The average high temperature in May is 39.5 degrees Celsius.
According to meteorologists, the rapid shift in the weather is the result of stronger-than-usual western disturbances, which are weather systems that start in the Mediterranean area and send unusually heavy rain to northwest India.
