After enduring days of sweltering heat, Delhi-NCR residents witnessed a powerful dust storm and rain which brought down the temperature, Friday evening. The dusty wind hit the national capital a little after 4 pm. This was followed by heavy rain.
On Friday, the maximum and minimum temperatures were recorded 33-degree Celsius and 22 degree Celsius respectively. The maximum temperature in the past few days had consistently stayed above the 30-degree Celsius mark.
According to Skymet Weather, beginning with Friday, Delhi-NCR is all set to record thunderstorm and dust storm for the next 24-48 hours. The intensity of rains is likely to pick up the pace by April 9 and people can expect some rain and thundershowers till April 10. This will be on account of the passage of another Western Disturbance, which would keep the circulations activated.
