A fresh Western Disturbance has become active over the region, bringing the much-anticipated spell of cool showers to the parched plains. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Thursday and Friday as dark clouds covered the skies across the national capital and adjoining areas, a report by IANS news agency said.
Rainfall has already been recorded in several parts of Delhi, Haryana, and nearby regions, marking a swift transition from the intense heatwave conditions experienced in recent days.
According to meteorologists, the sudden change in weather is being driven by a Western Disturbance, a low-pressure weather system that originates over the Mediterranean region and travels eastward while gathering moisture.
