The India Meteorological Department has issued a rain and thunderstorm warning for Delhi on June 11‑12, prompting residents to stay alert.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an official alert indicating the likelihood of rain and thunderstorms over Delhi on June 11 and 12. Meteorologists expect scattered showers accompanied by gusty winds and occasional lightning in the National Capital Region during this period. Residents are advised to secure loose objects, avoid unnecessary travel, and stay updated with local weather bulletins.
The alert follows a gradual rise in humidity and temperature across northern India as the pre‑monsoon season gains momentum. While the IMD has not provided an exact date for the onset of the full monsoon in the NCR, the agency notes that the region typically experiences the first substantial monsoon rains in early to mid‑July.
Authorities have urged schools, offices, and public transport operators to monitor the situation closely and implement safety measures if conditions deteriorate. The public is encouraged to heed any further advisories issued by the IMD or local disaster management agencies.
