Meteorological officials say a fresh western disturbance is moving eastward, bringing rain to Delhi-NCR within the next few days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified a new western disturbance forming over the Arabian Sea that is now tracking eastward toward the Indian subcontinent. According to the latest model runs, the system is expected to reach the Delhi-NCR region by late tomorrow, ushering in moderate to heavy showers over a 24‑hour period.
Forecasters anticipate that the rain will be most pronounced during the early morning and late evening hours, with intermittent thunderstorms possible in the outskirts of the capital. Temperatures are projected to dip by 2‑3°C as cloud cover increases, providing temporary relief from the recent heat wave.
Authorities have issued advisories for commuters, urging caution on highways and metro lines where waterlogging could occur. The IMD has also warned farmers in peripheral districts to prepare for potential soil saturation, though the overall impact is expected to be limited to urban areas.
Residents are advised to keep umbrellas handy, avoid non‑essential travel during peak rain periods, and stay tuned to local bulletins for any updates on the disturbance's intensity.
