IMD forecasts thunderstorms, rain, and gusty winds in Delhi today, issuing a yellow alert for the next few hours. Temperatures may drop slightly with high humidity, urging residents to stay cautious during peak storm activity.
Delhi's unpredictable weather takes another turn as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warns of imminent storms and rainfall on Saturday, March 28, 2026. This follows recent fluctuations in the national capital's climate, highlighting the need for real-time Delhi weather updates.
The yellow alert signals moderate to heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms, potentially disrupting daily commutes and outdoor plans. Current radar shows clouds building over northwest India, pushing towards Delhi.
Weather Patterns Shift
IMD attributes the change to a passing western disturbance interacting with local moisture, leading to convective activity. Delhi weather today mirrors patterns seen earlier this week, with sudden shifts from hazy skies to downpours. Minimum temperatures hover around 20°C, while maximums could reach 32°C before rain cools things down.
Storm Impacts and Precautions
Expect waterlogging in low-lying areas like Delhi's arterial roads and gusts up to 50-60 kmph, which may affect flight operations at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The department advises avoiding unnecessary travel and securing loose objects outdoors. Real-time updates via IMD app ensure timely Delhi weather forecasts for safety.
