Delhi Braces for Rain, Winds: Weather Alert Issued

Delhi NCR is bracing for inclement weather as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds on October 10 and 11. Wind speeds are expected to reach up to 50 kmph in some areas, potentially bringing lightning and dust. These conditions are attributed to a western disturbance and a cyclonic circulation.

Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remains in the moderate category with an AQI of 173. Minimum temperatures have been above normal. The Delhi Pollution Control Department (DPCC) is actively inspecting construction sites for dust control compliance, issuing show-cause notices to agencies found violating regulations.
