Residents of Delhi-NCR are advised to prepare for a spell of intense weather as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall and thunderstorms over the next few days. The much-anticipated downpour is expected to bring relief from the prevailing humidity but may also lead to disruptions.
The IMD’s latest bulletin indicates a strong likelihood of widespread rain activity across the national capital region. “We are expecting significant rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning for the next 72 hours,” stated an IMD official. “Citizens should take necessary precautions and stay updated with local advisories.”
The forecast suggests that the intensity of rain could vary, with some areas experiencing very heavy showers. This could potentially lead to waterlogging in low-lying areas and traffic congestion during peak hours. Authorities are urging commuters to plan their travel accordingly and exercise caution on the roads.
Thunderstorms are also a key feature of this weather system, with the possibility of strong winds. The IMD has advised against standing under trees or near unstable structures during these periods.
While the rains are a welcome change for many, promising a dip in temperatures and an improvement in air quality, the heavy nature of the forecast necessitates preparedness. Local disaster management units are reportedly on standby to address any rain-related emergencies.
