Severe Storms Expected in Delhi-NCR and Northern India; IMD Forecasts Relief

A major weather transition is underway as the IMD forecasts turbulent weather for a large part of the country this Friday. Seventeen states are currently under a heavy rain alert, with critical warnings highlighting wind speeds that could reach 90 km/h. This intense weather pattern is likely to sweep through northern and central India, bringing a mix of dust storms and heavy downpours that could drastically reduce visibility on the roads. While the precipitation will help lower the soaring temperatures, the intensity of the winds could lead to significant infrastructure damage in the urban corridors of Delhi, Noida, and Gurugram.
