The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert forecasting showers and thunderstorms across the Delhi Tricity area through Saturday.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released a weather alert predicting showers and thunderstorms across the Delhi Tricity region, which includes Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad, until Saturday. The forecast, based on satellite imagery and surface observations, indicates that the area may experience heavy rainfall and occasional lightning during the next 48 hours.
Meteorologists warn that the combination of moisture and low‑level winds could lead to localized flooding, especially in low‑lying and congested parts of the Tricity. Residents are advised to stay indoors during peak rainfall and to secure loose outdoor items.
The IMD has urged commuters to check real‑time updates on its official website and the national weather app. Authorities in Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad have also prepared emergency response teams to handle potential waterlogging and power outages.
This alert follows a series of similar warnings issued earlier in the week, as the monsoon trough moves over northern India. The department will continue to monitor the situation and issue further advisories if conditions worsen.
