New Delhi was hit by dust storms and high-speed winds on Monday night, even as it had been experiencing heatwave-like conditions. The sudden weather flip followed a yellow alert for thunderstorms and rain. Experts say a cyclonic circulation over Pakistan and Rajasthan brought dust and sand, with temperatures likely to cool until April 30.
A weather alert issued at 7 pm on April 27 warns that parts of Delhi and the NCR could see light rain or drizzle with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds within the next two hours. Winds are expected to reach 30–40 kmph in several areas, offering temporary respite from ongoing heat, but raising risks of sudden squalls and reduced visibility.
