Following several days of severe heat, certain areas of Delhi-NCR had rain on Friday along with strong winds brought on by Cyclone Biparjoy. Images of people welcoming the rain and taking pleasure in the much-needed respite from the sweltering heat emerged from locations in Noida as well as from areas of Delhi, including Feroz Shah Road, Kartavya Path, and RK Puram, among others.

The weather’s shift was anticipated by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which earlier this week predicted that cyclone Biporjoy would bring rain to Delhi, Rajasthan, and other nearby regions. The storm, which made landfall near Gujarat’s Jakhau Port on Thursday, caused coastal districts to experience torrential rain.

The national capital’s minimum temperature today was 27.9 degrees Celsius, according to the IMD website. The IMD had forecast in its morning bulletin that the city will experience light rain, thundershowers, and strong winds. The IMD predicts that the city’s maximum temperature would likely be about 38 degrees Celsius.

Despite there being no prediction, there was rain on Wednesday in some areas of Delhi, including Dwarka. Light rain showers will continue in the city until Monday, when the partly overcast sky will cover it until next Thursday, according to the IMD forecast.
