Cloudy skies, intermittent showers and gusty winds are set to dominate the weather across Delhi and the wider NCR belt today, as the monsoon continues to hold its ground over the region. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert, cautioning residents in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad about possible disruptions from rain and strong winds through the day.
Delhi Weather Today
The capital is expected to see cloud cover persist through most of the day, accompanied by light-to-moderate rain at intervals. Thunderstorms with lightning and wind speeds of 40-50 kmph cannot be ruled out. The day's maximum temperature is likely to settle around 33°C, with the minimum near 24°C, offering a break from the humid, sweltering conditions of recent days. Early morning readings were close to 30°C, with humidity levels running high. Residents are advised to watch for waterlogging and slippery roads, along with the risk of weak hoardings or tree branches coming down in strong gusts.
Gurgaon Weather Today
Gurugram is likely to see similar conditions, with overcast skies and spells of rain expected on and off throughout the day. Thunder and gusty winds touching 40-50 kmph may accompany the showers, so commuters heading out during peak hours should factor in possible delays. While the rain will help ease the humidity, low-lying stretches of the city could see brief waterlogging, and driving conditions may turn slippery during heavier spells.
Noida Weather Today
Noida and Greater Noida are also under the IMD's yellow alert, with light-to-moderate rain forecast through the day alongside cloudy conditions. Strong winds and the odd thunderstorm are expected, which could affect traffic movement on key stretches. The dip in temperature brought by the cloud cover should make for a more comfortable day overall, though residents are advised to stay alert during spells of heavier rain and wind.
Ghaziabad Weather Today
Ghaziabad can expect a mix of cloudy skies and intermittent rain, with the possibility of thunderstorms and winds gusting up to 50 kmph at times. As with the rest of NCR, the showers should bring welcome relief from the humidity, but residents are advised to be cautious of waterlogged roads and unstable structures like hoardings and loose branches during windy spells.
Faridabad Weather Today
Faridabad rounds out the NCR forecast with a similar pattern — cloudy skies, scattered rain and the chance of thunderstorms accompanied by strong surface winds. Commuters travelling through the day should stay alert to sudden weather changes, particularly during thundershowers, and avoid low-lying areas prone to water accumulation.
Delhi-NCR IMD Forecast for the Coming Week
The IMD expects the monsoon to remain active across Delhi-NCR over the next several days, with rain and thunderstorms likely on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Daytime temperatures during this period are expected to range between 34°C and 36°C, while night-time temperatures should stay between 23°C and 24°C.
Frequent rain spells are expected to keep the heat in check, but residents across the region should be prepared for occasional traffic snarls and water accumulation in low-lying pockets. Anyone travelling during thunderstorm activity is advised to stay alert and keep track of official weather updates.
