Delhi Weather: After enduring an intense heatwave in June, Delhi residents are finally getting respite as the capital experiences monsoon showers. Cloudy skies and intermittent rainfall have brought down temperatures across the region, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a yellow alert for Friday with thunderstorms and heavy rain.
Although the southwest monsoon reached Delhi around five days later than its usual schedule this year, the arrival of rain-bearing clouds and intermittent showers has led to a noticeable dip in temperatures.
Heavy rainfall was recorded in parts of Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad on Thursday, while Delhi remained overcast, with fresh spells of rain expected throughout the day.
