Delhi and Several States to See Rain Soon: IMD Issues Fresh Travel Advisory
If you’re planning to travel across India this week, the latest forecast from the India Meteorological Department is something you shouldn’t ignore. A new weather system is set to bring rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and fluctuating temperatures to multiple regions, potentially affecting travel plans, road conditions, and flight schedules.
While some destinations may finally get relief from the intense summer heat, others could experience brief disruptions due to heavy showers, lightning, or dust storms. For travellers, this means staying flexible with itineraries and keeping a close eye on weather updates before and during the trip.
For those visiting Delhi, the upcoming days are expected to offer a break from the recent heatwave. Light rain or drizzle is likely to begin on Tuesday, April 28, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching 30–50 kmph. Weather activity is expected to intensify on Wednesday, April 29, with one or two spells of light rain and stronger winds across the city.
By Thursday, April 30, rainfall may become more scattered, but evening cloud build-up could still trigger isolated showers and breezy conditions. Importantly, temperatures are expected to drop by around 3–5°C, with daytime highs easing from 41–43°C to a more manageable 37–39°C.
For travellers planning to explore iconic attractions like the Red Fort and other landmarks, this brief spell of cooler weather could offer a more comfortable experience compared to the recent scorching conditions. However, carrying light rain gear and planning indoor alternatives is advisable to avoid last-minute disruptions.
