Delhi wakes to rain and a cool spell, with an orange alert in the capital and yellow alerts in Noida and Gurugram; more showers forecast.
Delhi woke to a spell of rain that cooled the capital and offered relief from days of heat. The city saw a gentle drizzle as dark clouds rolled in, bringing a welcome change in temperature. Daytime highs were expected to hover around 27-29°C, with a further chance of light rain and thunderstorms on March 18.
An orange alert is in place for Delhi, with yellow alerts issued for Noida and Gurugram as a precaution. Residents experienced gusty winds and a mild chill in the air, and the outlook suggests more showers may follow in the days ahead.
People are urged to carry an umbrella, stay indoors during thunderstorm spells, and be careful on slick roads at night as clouds roll back in. Meteorologists say the pattern may ease later in the week, though night temperatures are likely to remain mild.
