New Delhi: Overnight rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds brought much-needed relief from intense heat across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). But the changing weather is part of a larger system that influences conditions across India.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on June 12 said the southwest monsoon has advanced further into several parts of southern and eastern India, while a western disturbance is expected to trigger widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, hailstorms and strong winds across northwestern India till June 13.
The weather department has forecast active weather across large parts of the country over the coming days, stretching from Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab in the north to Kerala and Karnataka in the south, and from Gujarat in the west to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in the northeast.
