Rainy spells expected today; heat to bounce back next week, says IMD
The India Meteorological Department has placed Delhi under a yellow alert for rain today, warning of brief showers and thunderstorms. After the brief chill, mercury levels will start climbing from Monday onward.
Delhi woke up to a fresh warning this morning – the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for rain across the city. It’s not a full‑blown deluge, but expect scattered showers and a few thundershowers popping up especially in the late afternoon.
Temperatures have taken a little dip, hovering around the mid‑20s°C (mid‑70s°F) as clouds roll in. The humidity, however, feels a bit heavier, making it feel a shade cooler than the actual numbers suggest.
But don’t get too comfortable. The IMD says this rainy spell is short‑lived. From Monday onward, the city will feel the sun again and temperatures are slated to rise steadily, climbing back into the low 30s°C (high 80s°F) by mid‑week.
What does a yellow alert mean? Basically, it’s a heads‑up that rain is likely, but not severe enough to cause major disruptions. Still, the department advises commuters to stay cautious – avoid unnecessary travel during heavy downpours, keep an eye on traffic updates, and make sure you have an umbrella or raincoat handy.
Farmers and gardeners can breathe a sigh of relief; a sprinkle of rain after a dry spell is welcome for the soil. For city dwellers, the brief rain may bring some respite from the lingering heat, but the relief is short‑lived.
Looking ahead, the IMD predicts a clear pattern: a wet day today, a brief dry spell on Tuesday, and then a gradual warming trend. By the weekend, the mercury could be touching the upper 30s°C (near 100°F), so plan accordingly – stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and consider indoor activities during peak sun hours.
In short, today’s rain is more of a polite knock on the door rather than a forceful entrance. Keep an eye on local forecasts, and be ready for the heat that’s making a comeback later this week.
