Light showers and gloomy skies gave much-needed respite to some parts of Delhi this morning, providing a welcome break from the searing heat.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) the maximum temperature will be around 38 to 40 degrees Celsius in the national capital while the minimum temperature will hover around 25 to 27 degrees Celsius.
Bringing temporary relief from the humid weather, light rain showers lashed several parts of Delhi on Monday morning. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert in the early hours followed by a red alert just an hour later.
The red alert, which is the highest level of weather warning, issued for most of Delhi implies severely disruptive weather as parts of the city are expected to see very light to light rainfall during the day, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds reaching speeds of 60 to 70 kmph, with gusts up to 80 kmph, in the afternoon and evening.
