IMD Sends Out a Yellow Alert for Storms and Rain
Delhi News Update: As a disturbance from the west moves through the area, the IMD has warned that parts of Delhi-NCR will get rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds. All day, it’s going to rain in spurts and showers, and lightning and strong winds could make it hard to be outside and drive. People who work or live in the area and plan to travel later in the evening should be careful.
How the weather and temperature change
Compared to the last few days, temperatures have dropped a little, with cooler mornings and milder afternoon temps. Seasonal changes and weather systems from the west moving across northern India are both to blame for the changing weather trend.
It gets worse outside, despite the Rain
Even though it’s supposed to rain, Delhi’s air quality is still bad. New reports say that the AQI is between “poor” and “very poor,” and that many monitoring stations across the city are showing unhealthy levels of particulate matter. People who are already weak, like children, the old, and people who have breathing problems, are being seriously affected by this persistent smog.
Authorities have told people over and over again to stay inside as much as possible and follow pollution health warnings, especially in the early morning and late evening, when smog is usually thickest.
Advice on Travel and Safety
Winter weather changes often bring dense fog and low vision, which can make it hard to travel by car or plane. People who have to commute should check the weather in real time before they leave. In case of delays caused by weather or air quality, people who use public transportation should give extra time.
