Delhi-NCR to stay hot under clouds as rain and thunderstorms expected from Saturday

The Indian Meteorological Department issued a weather update for the National Capital Region, noting that cloud cover will dominate the skies over Delhi and its surrounding areas. Temperatures are expected to remain high, with daytime highs staying in the upper‑30s Celsius, even as clouds limit direct sunshine.

Meteorologists have indicated that the region will see the first measurable rainfall and thunderstorm activity from Saturday onward. The system moving in from the west‑northwest is likely to bring intermittent showers and gusty winds, especially in the evenings.

Residents are advised to stay prepared for sudden downpours and possible lightning, while also taking precautions against heat‑related health risks. The forecast will be updated as the system evolves.

Authorities have urged commuters to monitor traffic updates, as wet roads could affect travel in the city. The weather outlook for the coming week remains mixed, with a cooler spell expected later in the week.
