The Meteorological Department warned that several parts of the country are likely to witness intense weather activity on May 16 and advised people to exercise extreme caution during the period.

A spell of rain on Thursday (April 30) brought much-needed relief to residents across Delhi and the NCR region, easing the intense heat that had pushed temperatures close to 40 degrees Celsius in the last days of April.

Delhi residents woke up to pleasant morning after days of sweltering heat as strong winds and rain pounded city on 29 April. This dramatic change in weather comes follows days of heatwave when mercury soared as high as 44 degrees Celsius.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rainfall for the Delhi‑National Capital Region (NCR) over the next three days, as lower atmospheric disturbances move across northern India. This forecast comes as part of a broader weather pattern influencing much of the country. The weather agency said light to moderate rain and thundershowers are likely over.

This has provided significant relief from pollution, and people in the NCR are breathing cleaner air.

Daytime temperatures in the national Capital have been steadily climbing under clear and sunny conditions.

Another spell of very light to light rain is likely later in the afternoon or evening

Several other areas also continued to report ‘very poor’ air quality, including Mundka with an AQI of 381

In Noida, the AQI has also shown signs of improvement, with levels close to 255 at some stations.

On Thursday, the capital is expected to record a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 18 degrees, which may further drop to 17 degrees by November 1.
