Delhi residents can expect a welcome break from the humid weather as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms and light rainfall

The weather in Delhi is expected to take a dramatic turn over the next two days. The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for June 4 and June 5, warning residents of thunderstorms, gusty winds and light rainfall across the national capital.

Meteorologists attribute the changing conditions to a western disturbance moving across the Himalayan region. Its interaction with an east-west trough is likely to enhance weather activity across North India, including Delhi and adjoining areas. As a result, cloud cover, rain showers and strong winds are expected to dominate the forecast.
