The IMD, in a post on X at 3:23 PM, said that a trough moving from northwest-east-southeast to east-north-east would bring scattered rain and lightning to most regions of the national capital in about two hours.
Winds were also forecast to gust at speeds ranging from 50-60 kmph to 70 kmph.
“A group of clouds/tornado line moving from the northwest-southeast direction toward the northeast is likely to bring light rain and lightning to most parts of Delhi in the next 1-2 hours, accompanied by winds at a speed of 50-60 km per hour, which may occasionally reach up to 70 km per hour,” the IMD post read.
