Delhi Weather Update: Rain, Dust Storms Likely; IMD Predicts Winds Up to 50 km/h

Residents of New Delhi may soon get relief from the scorching heat, as the India Meteorological Department has forecast rain and strong dust storms in the national capital later this week.

According to the latest weather update, Delhi is expected to witness rain and gusty winds between May 28 and May 30, with wind speeds reaching up to 50 km/h. The weather department has also predicted light rainfall and thunderstorms on May 25, although major relief from the heat is unlikely immediately.

Delhi has been experiencing intense heat for the past nine days, with temperatures consistently staying above 40°C. However, weather officials believe significant relief may arrive by the evening of May 28, when rainfall is expected to bring down temperatures by nearly 6 to 7 degrees Celsius.

Neighbouring states including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab are also likely to witness rainfall around May 28, accompanied by strong winds of up to 70 km/h in some areas. Meanwhile, hilly states such as Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and the region of Jammu and Kashmir may experience hailstorms.

The IMD has also shared an update on the southwest monsoon, stating that it is expected to arrive in Delhi between June 27 and June 30, and is likely to remain active through September. In states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, monsoon activity may begin after June 15.

On Sunday, Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6°C, which was 3.4 degrees above normal, while the minimum temperature settled at 28.7°C.
