Relief From Heat

The change in weather brought a respite from the heat that had gripped the NCR during the day. According to IANS, earlier in the day, the sky across the region remained overcast, with high humidity levels. The evening rains brought a dip in temperatures, making the weather pleasant and significantly cooler.

As per IMD, the shift in weather was in line with forecasts issued on Friday, which had warned of rain accompanied by thunder, lightning, and strong winds with speeds ranging between 40 and 50 kmph in Delhi and surrounding regions.

While the change in weather has offered much-needed relief from the heat, the authorities have urged the citizens to remain vigilant. The IMD has also advised people to stay indoors during storms, avoid sheltering under trees or temporary structures, and steer clear of open fields during lightning activity.
