thebalanced.newsDust Storms and Rain Provide Temporary Relief from Heatwave in Delhi-NCR
After several days of severe heatwave with temperatures exceeding 43 degrees Celsius, Delhi-NCR experienced relief as dust storms, thunderstorms, and light to moderate rainfall swept across the region. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued orange alerts warning of gusty winds up to 80 km/h and advised residents to stay indoors. While the rain and cooler winds temporarily lowered temperatures and eased heat stress, humid conditions are expected to persist, and heatwave alerts remain in effect through May 28 with temperatures forecasted to rise again.
