Rainfall was reported in several parts of Delhi today, and meteorological agencies have issued a thunderstorm warning for the capital.
Rain showers moved across several districts of Delhi this morning, with residents reporting localized downpours and brief periods of heavy rain. The precipitation was most noticeable in the western and central zones of the city, where streets briefly turned slick.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a thunderstorm warning for Delhi later in the day, indicating a high likelihood of intense lightning, gusty winds, and further rain. Forecast models suggest the storms could develop after noon and persist into the evening.
Authorities have advised commuters to exercise caution, especially those traveling on highways and using public transport, as sudden downpours may affect visibility and road conditions. Residents are also urged to secure outdoor objects that could be displaced by strong winds.
Such weather patterns are typical as the pre‑monsoon season gains momentum, bringing sporadic showers and thunderstorms to the northern plains. The department will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
