Mint ImageThe India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday issued a "red alert" for severe thunderstorms and hailstorms for Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), with some parts of the national capital placed under an "orange" alert, as residents were advised to be prepared for potentially-disruptive weather conditions.
A "red" alert stands for "take action", indicating severe weather conditions.
According to the IMD, severe thunderstorms accompanied by lightning, hailstorms, dust storms, and moderate rainfall, along with gusty winds reaching speeds of up to 80 kmph, are very likely over the city, with some areas likely to witness moderate thunderstorm activity.
The weather agency said a "red" alert has been issued for Outer North Delhi, Northwest Delhi, West Delhi, Southwest Delhi, parts of North Delhi, Central Delhi, Northeast Delhi, and Shahdara, while South Delhi, Southeast Delhi, and parts of North Delhi remain under an "orange" alert. Similar thunderstorm conditions are also likely at isolated places across various locations in Delhi-NCR.
This is a developing story. More details awaited.
