Weather department issues orange alert for Delhi thunderstorms and lightning
India
Heads up, Delhi! The weather department has put out an orange alert for this Saturday afternoon, warning about thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds between 3:20pm and 6:24pm
Several districts, including Central, East, New Delhi, North, and Northeast, are on watch.
This comes as Safdarjung saw a warmer-than-usual morning at 28.7 Celsius.
Delhi rain likely, monsoon still delayed
Light rain and more thunder are likely in Delhi later today, with the IMD saying the intensity could pick up as evening rolls in.
Even with these showers, Delhi is still waiting for proper monsoon rains, thanks to El Nino slowing things down across India and causing big rainfall deficits in many regions.
