Rain, storms expected in Delhi as IMD warns of gusty winds, lightning
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi on Sunday, forecasting generally cloudy skies with light to moderate rain and thunderstorms. These are expected to be accompanied by lightning and gusty winds of 30–40 kmph, occasionally reaching up to 50 kmph during storms. According to IMD, a yellow alert suggests the possibility of moderate rainfall. While not severe, it might cause localised flooding in low-lying areas or disrupt outdoor activities. The showers are likely to bring down the maximum temperature, keeping it between 33–35 degrees Celsius, while the minimum is expected to hover around 29 degrees Celsius. Delhi weather: Weekly forecast Delhi is expected to experience mostly cloudy skies from June 29 to July 4, with the IMD issuing a yellow alert for June 29 and 30. Thunderstorms, lightning and light to very light rainfall have been forecast through July 2. Evening or night-time storms may bring gusty winds ranging from 30–40 kmph, with occasional peaks of 50 kmph. Rainfall intensity is likely to vary, but no heatwave conditions are expected during the week. Showers in parts of Delhi, but monsoon onset yet to be declared Several parts of the national capital, particularly southwest and south Delhi, along with adjoining areas of western Uttar Pradesh and NCR cities such as Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad, received rainfall on Saturday. However, the IMD stopped short of declaring the onset of the southwest monsoon. It stated that conditions were now favourable for its advancement. Weather experts noted that a significant portion of Delhi had yet to receive rainfall. Several areas, including the city's main observatory at Safdarjung, remained dry. Showers were reported in localities such as Mayur Vihar, Palam, Ayanagar and Zafarpur, even as overcast skies lingered across the city. Delhi pollution: Air quality remains 'satisfactory' Delhi's air quality improved on Sunday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) entering the 'satisfactory' category. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the AQI was recorded at 85 at 7 am on June 29, down slightly from 86 at the same time a day earlier. An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered 'good', 51–100 'satisfactory', 101–200 'moderate', 201–300 'poor', 301–400 'very poor' and 401–500 'severe'.

Rain brings respite to delhi as monsoon arrival remains pending
New Delhi: The highly anticipated monsoon knocked on the city's door on Saturday but didn't enter. While parts of the capital, especially southwest and south Delhi and those adjoining western UP, and the NCR cities of Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad enjoyed showers on Saturday, the India Meteorological Department did not declare this the arrival of the seasonal rain-bearing winds. It only said the conditions were now favourable for the advancement of the southwest monsoon. Weather experts pointed out that a large portion of Delhi was yet to receive rains. "A trough currently in the south of Delhi is yet to move northward and bring the monsoon," explained an IMD official. "The weather system on Saturday entered the city via western UP. Several parts of the city, including the base weather station at Safdarjung, did not record rain." Mayur Vihar, Palam, Ayanagar and Zafarpur were among the areas where it rained, though the sky over the entire city remained overcast. IMD issued a yellow alert expecting moderate to light rain on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the rain was sporadic and patchy, but it brought a much-needed respite from the heat and humidity. Safdarjung received too low a rainfall to record, but Mayur Vihar logged 23mm, Palam 9.7mm, Aya Nagar 9.2mm, Najafgarh 2.5mm and Lodhi Road, trace rainfall. Neighbouring Gurgaon recorded 10.7mm and Noida 21mm. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi The temperature fell during the day. "Between 1.30pm and 3.20pm, there was a fall of 10-12 degrees Celsius in south Delhi stations like Ayanagar, Pushp Vihar and IGNOU; 5-7 degrees Celsius in central Delhi stations like Lodhi Road, Pusa and Pragati Maidan, and a fall of 2-3 degrees Celsius in north Delhi stations like Narela and Mungeshpur," said Krishna Mishra, weather scientist, IMD. The maximum temperature at Safdarjung was 36.2 degrees Celsius, a degree below normal and almost 3 degrees lower than Friday's 39.1 degrees. The humidity oscillated between 58 and 81%. The maximum temperature on Sunday is expected to be 33-35 degrees Celsius. The air quality was 'satisfactory' again. The air quality index on a scale of 0 to 500 was 97 against 76 the previous day. So far, the southwest monsoon has covered almost all parts of the country except for a sliver in northwest India, including entire Delhi.

"Most of Haryana is now under the monsoon's influence, barring a few pockets in the southern region," he said. While an orange alert has been issued for heavy rain in northern and eastern districts of Haryana, a yellow alert is in place for southern areas, including Gurgaon, where light to moderate rain is expected over the next two days. Sonam Wadhwa, a resident of Imperial Gardens, said that the rainfall brought about a quick relief from the heat. "The temperature had become unbearable over the past few days. It poured heavily for about 30 minutes, and you could instantly feel the drop in temperature. Let's hope monsoon arrives soon," she said. However, Aanchal Sharma, a resident of Ardee City, said her area did not get any rain. "Dark clouds hovered over the area for most of the afternoon, but rain remained elusive. While other parts of the city saw showers, it was warm and humid here," she said. The highly anticipated monsoon knocked on the city's door on Saturday but didn't enter.
