The Regional Weather Forecasting Centre in New Delhi warned of thunderstorms with light to moderate intensity rain over several areas including Delhi (Seemapuri, Shahadra, Vivek Vihar, Red Fort, Preet Vihar, ITO, India Gate, Akshardham, Lodi Road) and the National Capital Region (NCR) encompassing Loni Dehat, Hindon AF Station, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Chhapraula, Noida, Dadri, Greater Noida, Faridabad, and Ballabhgarh.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) projected additional showers throughout the day, with the possibility of light rain continuing into Thursday. Notably, these showers are not anticipated to significantly impact the maximum temperature.
