On Wednesday, Delhi-NCR witnessed heavy rain and strong winds, marking a significant change from the recent heatwave that pushed temperatures above 40°C. The India Meteorological Department forecasts the maximum temperature to be around 38°C and the minimum near 27°C. A yellow alert has been issued for the day, warning residents of potential thunderstorms and gusty winds. The weather shift is attributed to a cyclonic circulation affecting areas in central Pakistan, northwest Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana, which is gradually moving towards northern and northeastern India. According to Mahesh Palawat from Skymet Weather, parts of Rajasthan and Haryana are also expected to receive rain, with the system remaining active until April 30. As it progresses, the system may bring dust storms and moderate rainfall, typical of the pre-monsoon period in northern India.
