IMD Forecasts Rain, Thunderstorms, and Gusty Winds in Delhi-NCR Through June 21PreviousNext

Delhi and the National Capital Region are expected to experience moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds between June 18 and 21, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). An Orange alert has been issued for intense rain and winds up to 80 km/h in parts of Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad, potentially causing waterlogging and traffic disruptions. This weather shift is linked to advancing southwest monsoon and a western disturbance, providing relief from recent heatwaves. Temperatures are forecast to drop, with generally cloudy skies persisting after the rain.
