Amid the severe heat, Delhi residents may finally get some relief as weather conditions are expected to change from May 28. According to the IMD, a Western Disturbance is likely to influence the region, leading to cloudy skies, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and light rainfall in several parts of Delhi-NCR.

Meteorologists predict that temperatures may begin dropping gradually after May 28, with a possible fall of 5 to 7 degrees Celsius over the following days. Strong winds reaching speeds of 40 to 50 kmph are expected during thunderstorms, while some areas could witness gusts up to 60 kmph during the evening and night hours.

Bigger Relief Expected On May 29

The IMD has forecast even more pleasant weather conditions for May 29, with light rain and thunderstorms likely in several areas of Delhi-NCR. Morning and afternoon showers may help bring temperatures down significantly compared to the ongoing heatwave conditions.

Wind speeds are expected to remain strong, touching 40 to 50 kmph, while isolated gusts may reach 60 kmph in some places. Another spell of rain is also possible during the night, further improving weather conditions across the capital region.

The biggest relief for residents will come through the sharp drop in temperatures. The maximum temperature on May 29 is expected to settle between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius, offering a noticeable break from the scorching heat experienced over the past few days.

Authorities have advised people to remain cautious during thunderstorms and avoid standing near trees, electric poles, or open spaces during strong winds and lightning activity.
