New Delhi, March 31: The Meteorological Department has predicted light rain or drizzle in New Delhi on Tuesday. The forecast indicates that the sky will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day, with intermittent weather changes expected.
Rain is likely in the afternoon or evening, accompanied by thunder and strong gusts of wind. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), wind speeds may range from 20 to 30 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 40 km/h. A “Yellow Alert” was previously issued for the national capital, warning of thunderstorms and sudden weather changes.
This advisory follows reports of rain and strong winds in Delhi and surrounding areas shortly after the IMD’s prediction of light rain on Monday. As conditions worsened, the alert was upgraded from yellow to orange, indicating the possibility of moderate rain, lightning, and strong winds. The orange alert was in effect until 6 PM on Monday.
The IMD has stated that light rain may occur at various locations on Tuesday, with the sky remaining predominantly cloudy and occasional sunshine expected. Residents are advised to exercise caution during periods of strong winds and thunder.
Earlier, the IMD’s forecast warned of dust storms followed by thunder, light rain, and winds reaching speeds of 60-80 km/h in parts of Haryana, including Farukh Nagar, Kosli, Mahendergarh, Sohna, Rewari, Palwal, Narnaul, Bawal, and Nuh, as well as in Rajasthan’s Bhiwadi and Khairthal.
The current weather conditions are attributed to a western disturbance over northern Iran and the Caspian Sea region, along with an active cyclonic circulation over northwestern Rajasthan. Another western disturbance is expected around April 2, which could bring very light rain to Delhi on April 3 and 4.
Meanwhile, the rain and strong winds are anticipated to provide temporary relief to Delhi’s air quality by dispersing pollutants. Recent trends indicate that even light rain can offer brief respite. For instance, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi has improved after rainfall, although it often remains in the “poor” to “very poor” category, indicating only partial relief.
Strong winds during such weather also play a crucial role in dispersing pollutants, leading to a noticeable but temporary improvement in air quality.
