The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds in Delhi and 26 districts of Maharashtra.
On Thursday, June 5, IMD issued a yellow alert for Delhi due to the possibility of rain, thunder, and gusty winds. For the past few weeks, light rain has been falling occasionally in the city. On Wednesday, some areas reported strong winds, lightning, and thunderstorms.
This weather is mainly due to an active western disturbance and a cyclonic circulation over southern Punjab and nearby areas, which are influencing the current conditions in Delhi.
While Wednesday's maximum temperature was around 36°C and the minimum was 25°C, IMD has predicted that heat will return soon, and by June 10, the temperature may reach 41°C again.
The monsoon has become active again in Maharashtra after a brief slowdown. On June 5, IMD issued a yellow alert for 26 districts in the state, warning about moderate rain, thunderstorms, and lightning in some places.
Since June 4, rainfall activity has increased, especially in parts of Konkan, Western Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Vidarbha. Districts like Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, and Ratnagiri are expected to receive rain and have been placed under yellow alert.
Conclusion: With the monsoon becoming active again in Maharashtra and stormy weather in Delhi, people are advised to stay alert and follow the latest updates from the weather department. Farmers and city residents should take precautions to stay safe during this changing weather.
