The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert indicating thunderstorms and gusty winds across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Chhattisgarh in the coming hours.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an advisory warning of severe weather conditions over the National Capital Region and parts of northern and central India. Meteorologists expect thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds to develop this evening and persist through the night across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Chhattisgarh.
The system is driven by an upper‑level trough moving eastward, which is set to enhance convection over the plains. IMD forecasts wind gusts of 40‑50 km/h in exposed areas, with localized higher speeds near open fields and water bodies. Rainfall intensity is projected to reach 30‑50 mm in pockets, potentially causing brief waterlogging in low‑lying zones.
Authorities have advised residents to secure loose objects, avoid outdoor activities during the peak period, and stay updated through official channels. Drivers are cautioned about reduced visibility and slippery roads, especially on highways linking Delhi with neighboring states. The alert will remain in force until the system weakens early tomorrow morning.
