IMD Issues Yellow Alert as Delhi Receives Monsoon Rains After Dry Spell
Delhi experienced relief from a prolonged dry spell as monsoon rains returned, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a yellow alert for July 21-22. Showers and thunderstorms brought moderate to heavy rainfall across the city, lowering temperatures and improving air quality. The IMD forecast continued rain and gusty winds over the next two days, cautioning residents about possible waterlogging and disruptions. The monsoon trough's southward shift is driving this wet spell, which may reduce the region's rainfall deficit.
