On June 9, 2026, Delhi experienced significant weather changes, including rain showers, dust storms, and strong winds, offering residents relief from the ongoing heatwave. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued red and orange alerts for thunderstorms, lightning, and moderate rain across the city, with wind speeds expected to range from 50 to 70 km/h. The maximum temperature is forecasted to be between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures will hover around 29 to 30 degrees Celsius. Neighboring regions in Haryana are also predicted to experience similar weather conditions. As the southwest monsoon has officially entered India, it is anticipated to reach Delhi between June 25 and 30, 2026, although its arrival may vary based on atmospheric conditions. The delay in the monsoon's progress is attributed to a developing El Nino pattern in the Pacific Ocean, which has affected its usual timeline.
