IMD Forecasts Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms in Delhi-NCR Ahead of Independence Day
Delhi-NCR is expected to experience intermittent to heavy rainfall from August 13 through at least August 19, driven by an active monsoon trough and a low-pressure system near the Bay of Bengal. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds across Delhi and neighboring states. While recent rainfall has caused traffic disruptions and localized waterlogging, the monsoon remains uneven, with Delhi currently facing a rainfall deficit. Weather during Independence Day celebrations is forecast to be cloudy with possible light showers but no major disruptions.
