Some areas of Delhi-NCR witnessed heavy showers in the afternoon on Saturday, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had announced Yellow and Orange warnings for the city and its periphery. The rains brought much-needed relief from the last few days' blistering heat, although with a dash of gales and warnings for lightning.

The Orange alert was for Southeast and Southwest Delhi alone, anticipating light to moderate rain and gusty winds. The rest of Delhi was under Yellow alert, with the same weather but lower intensity.
