Delhi-NCR woke up to a refreshing spell of light rainfall today, making the weather pleasant across the national capital region. The showers, influenced by western disturbances, have brought relief from rising temperatures and improved the city's air quality. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast cloudy skies with light rain and thunderstorms at isolated locations throughout the day.

IMD Weather Predictions for Delhi-NCR

According to the latest IMD weather forecast, the national capital and its adjoining regions, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad, are expected to experience light rainfall and thunderstorms. Wind speeds are likely to gust between 30-40 kmph, making the conditions breezy. Western disturbances impacting North India are responsible for the shift in weather, leading to rainfall, thunderstorms, and even hailstorms in some areas.

Rainfall and Storm Impact on Different Regions

The IMD has issued an alert for light to moderate rainfall across several areas in Delhi-NCR and adjoining states. The following locations are expected to be affected:

• Delhi-NCR: Noida, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Chhapraula, Gurugram, Faridabad, Manesar, and Ballabhgarh
• Haryana: Assandh, Safidon, Gannaur, Sonipat, Kharkhoda, Sohana, Rewari, Palwal, Bawal, and Nuh
• Uttar Pradesh: Gangoh, Deoband, Kandhla, Baraut, Bagpat, and Khekra
• Rajasthan: Bhiwari

Additionally, hailstorm activity has been predicted for Rewari in Haryana and Bhiwari in Rajasthan within the next few hours. People in these areas should stay alert and take necessary precautions against sudden weather changes.

How Western Disturbances Are Affecting Delhi-NCR Weather

Western disturbances are a key reason behind Delhi-NCR’s changing weather patterns. These disturbances are extra-tropical storm systems originating from the Mediterranean region, bringing moisture-laden winds to North India. The interaction of these winds with local atmospheric conditions results in rainfall, thunderstorms, and even hailstorms.

This seasonal phenomenon often impacts Delhi-NCR, influencing the temperature, air quality, and overall climate. Similar instances have been observed in the past, where western disturbances have led to sudden rain showers during winter and early spring.

Delhi’s Air Quality Sees Improvement

One of the biggest benefits of the rainfall in Delhi-NCR is the improvement in air quality. According to the latest updates, the Air Quality Index (AQI) has significantly improved.

• On February 27, the AQI dropped to 121 by 4 PM.
• On February 28, the AQI further improved to 114.

The light rainfall has helped in washing away pollutants and reducing dust levels, making the air healthier for residents. This natural cleansing effect is expected to continue if the showers persist over the next few days.

Weather Outlook for the Coming Days

The IMD suggests that partly cloudy skies will dominate the weather in Delhi-NCR for the next few days. While temperatures may remain cool, sporadic light rainfall and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. The western disturbances may continue to influence weather conditions, bringing short-lived but noticeable changes in the climate.

Residents are advised to stay updated with the IMD weather forecast and plan their outdoor activities accordingly. Light rain showers are likely to enhance the pleasant weather, but those commuting should be prepared for occasional gusty winds and slippery roads.

Conclusion

With light rainfall making the weather pleasant in Delhi-NCR, residents can enjoy a cool and refreshing start to March. The IMD’s predictions indicate continued cloudy conditions with occasional showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds over the coming days. The western disturbances continue to influence North India’s weather, bringing rainfall, hailstorm warnings, and improved air quality.

As the air quality improves and temperatures remain comfortable, Delhiites can take advantage of the pleasant climate before the onset of the summer season. Stay updated with IMD alerts and enjoy the refreshing weather conditions.
