Delhi residents are likely to get some relief from intense heat from May 29 onwards, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast thunderstorm and rain activity in the city.
The IMD said relief in heatwave conditions over the region is likely from May 29 due to a likely western disturbance along with a moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal due to the likely formation of a lower tropospheric east-west trough.
