The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast partly to generally cloudy skies for the next two days. The yellow alert warns of potential rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph, possibly gusting to 60 kmph.
Experts attribute the expected weather changes to a fresh western disturbance and a cyclonic circulation over Pakistan and northwestern India.

Delhi's air quality is expected to stay in the moderate category.
