Red alert in Delhi-NCR as IMD warns of severe thunderstorm, heavy rain

New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday evening issued a “red alert” for Delhi-NCR, cautioning residents about an impending spell of intense thunderstorms and heavy rain.

“A thunderstorm cell is approaching Delhi and adjoining areas from the west/northwest,” the IMD said. “Under its influence, severe thunderstorm/dust raising wind activity accompanied by frequent lightning and gusty winds (speed reaching 40-60 km/h or more) is likely to affect parts of the city in the next 1–2 hours.”

With the weather likely to turn hazardous, the IMD has urged the public to remain indoors and avoid open spaces. “Residents are advised to take necessary precautions. Avoid open fields, stay indoors, and do not take shelter under trees,” an advisory from the weather office said.
