Delhi-NCR residents woke up to light rain, mild thunderstorms, and gusty winds on Friday, bringing back a winter-like chill to the national capital.
The recent downpour has made this March the wettest in three years, recording an average rainfall of 9.4 mm.
The forecast predicts light to moderate rainfall on Friday, with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds of 30 to 40 kmph expected.
The minimum temperature dropped to 18 degrees Celsius, with a yellow alert issued by the IMD warning of more rain and a further drop in temperature to around 23 to 25°C.
The unusual weather is due to an active western disturbance over northwest India, which intensified on Wednesday.
Experts say the system bringing rain across North India is unusual, with a trough spanning thousands of kilometres, creating strong thunderstorms and thunderclouds.
