Marking a possible onset of pre-monsoon, the national capital on Saturday saw light rain in some parts accompanied with storm, ending the hot day on a pleasant note. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) also predicted thunderstorms with light to moderate intensity rain for Saturday.
Thunderstorms with light to moderate intensity rain with wind speed of 20-40 Km/h would occur over isolated places of North-Delhi, South-west Delhi,” the IMD said in a tweet.
Adjoining areas Nuh, Tizara, Rewari, Faridabad (Haryana), Noida, Greater-Noida and Indirapuram are also likely to witness rain and windy weather for the next two hours, IMD said.
The weather body on Saturday said monsoon is unlikely to progress to Delhi, Chandigarh, Haryana, remaining parts of Rajasthan, west Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab for nearly two weeks and is also likely to enter a “break spell” from June 29 onwards. Heavy rain will be confined to northeast India while rainfall will be subdued in the rest of the country at least till around July 5, it added.
