IMD issues yellow alert for Delhi; rain, cool weather expected

India Oct 05, 2025

Delhi is set for a weather change, with the IMD issuing a yellow alert for Monday, October 6, 2025.
Expect light to moderate rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds up to 50km/h from Sunday through Tuesday.
This should finally bring more widespread rain to the city and cool things down by a few degrees.

Rain to improve air quality

The rain isn't just about cooler weather—it's also good news for Delhi's air quality.
After recent showers dropped the AQI to its lowest post-Dussehra level in three years, more rain and wind are expected to push pollution levels from 'moderate' toward 'satisfactory.'
So if you've been waiting for cleaner air (and maybe an excuse to skip outdoor plans), this could be your week.
