 Lightning and Safety Warnings Issued

The IMD has specifically warned of lightning strikes in parts of Delhi and NCR, especially during late afternoons and evenings. Lightning during monsoon activity is a common yet dangerous phenomenon.

Delhi Weather Forecast Trending Online

The Delhi rain alert has quickly become a trending topic on social media, as netizens share videos of sudden downpours, blocked drains, and stormy clouds. The #DelhiRains hashtag is gaining momentum as citizens prepare for a wet and stormy week ahead.

 Why Is It Raining So Heavily in Delhi?

According to the India Meteorological Department, this weather pattern is due to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal, which is moving towards Northwest India. As it interacts with the monsoon trough and western disturbances, the combination is resulting in:

• Intensified rainfall over Delhi NCR

• Prolonged monsoon onset

• High moisture content in the atmosphere

This system is expected to remain active for at least 6–7 days, resulting in above-normal rainfall this week.

If you are in Delhi or any city in the NCR, keep your umbrellas and raincoats ready. With continuous rainfall forecasted and a Yellow Alert in effect until June 29, the week ahead will be wet, windy, and unpredictable.
