Relief Ahead: Delhi-NCR to See Thunderstorms and Hail
9 Jun
Summary
- Thunderstorms and hailstorms are forecast for Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Rajasthan on Tuesday.
- Gusty winds up to 70 kmph with lightning expected, causing potential crop and property damage.
- Pre-monsoon conditions fueled by heat and moisture are causing severe weather activity.
Parts of Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Rajasthan are poised for relief from intense heat with a forecast of thunderstorms, hailstorms, and strong winds on Tuesday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts moderate rainfall accompanied by gusty winds reaching speeds of 50-70 kmph, along with lightning, across several districts.
These pre-monsoon conditions stem from strong daytime heating combined with moisture influx from the Arabian Sea. Meteorologists anticipate localized hailstorms, which could damage crops, vehicles, and structures. Farmers are advised to take precautions to protect their produce and equipment.
While the thunderstorms are expected to temporarily lower temperatures, experts caution that heat may return once the activity subsides. Further spells of rain and thunderstorms are anticipated in northwestern India in the coming days, indicating a continuation of active pre-monsoon weather patterns.
