Light rain, thunderstorm hit city
Light rain accompanied by thunderstorm and gusty winds up to 80 kmph hit parts of Delhi-NCR on Sunday, offering temporary respite from the heat.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued an orange alert for the national capital. The city is likely to witness light rainfall with thunderstorms till June 4. For the next few days, maximum temperature will be in the range of 34 °C to 36 °C and minimum in the range of 24°C to 26°C.
A scientist with the IMD said, “The thunderstorm was caused by several factors such as a western disturbance as a cyclonic circulation over north Pakistan in middle tropospheric levels and a cyclonic circulation over Haryana in lower tropospheric levels.”
The IMD’s forecast for June suggests no heatwave conditions in Delhi but indicates chances of excess rainfall and high heat index days.
