Delhi and its surrounding National Capital Region are experiencing consecutive days of rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms. The India Meteorological Department has issued warnings of wind speeds reaching 40-60 kilometers per hour, along with risks of lightning strikes and hailstorms in the region.
The ongoing precipitation has provided temporary relief from the intense heat that typically characterizes this period. Daytime temperatures have decreased noticeably across the NCR, offering residents respite from the oppressive weather conditions.
However, the severe weather has also created several infrastructure challenges. Fallen trees have blocked roadways, while lightning strikes have caused power disruptions in multiple areas. Traffic congestion has increased due to weather-related obstacles and visibility issues on major routes.
Residents are advised to exercise caution during the storms and remain alert for weather-related hazards. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and respond to emergency calls from affected areas.
