Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) witnessed one of the most dramatic weather events of the season on Tuesday evening as a powerful dust storm, accompanied by wind speeds touching 120 kmph, swept across the capital before giving way to intense overnight rainfall. The severe weather disrupted normal life, delayed hundreds of flights and prompted the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue red and orange alerts across several parts of the city.
The IMD has forecast a partly cloudy sky on Wednesday with the possibility of thunderstorms and lightning at isolated places. It has predicted a maximum temperature of around 43.5 degrees Celsius for the day.
