The India Meteorological Department has raised a red alert for rain and dust storms in Delhi, prompting flight advisories from IndiGo and Air India.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has upgraded its warning to a red alert for the capital, citing the likelihood of intense rain showers accompanied by dust storms. Meteorologists expect the weather system to intensify over the next few hours, potentially affecting visibility and causing localized flooding in low‑lying areas.
Airlines operating in and out of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport have responded by issuing travel advisories. IndiGo and Air India have warned passengers of possible delays, cancellations, or rerouting of flights until the weather stabilises.
Authorities have urged commuters to exercise caution, avoid non‑essential travel, and stay updated through official channels. Emergency services remain on standby to address any incidents arising from the severe weather conditions.
The red alert remains in force until further notice, and the IMD will continue to monitor the situation, providing updates as the storm evolves.
