Delhi heatwave to end soon? Pre-monsoon activity likely to intensify from June 11 to bring relief, says IMD

After days of relentless heat, Delhi residents may finally have a reason to cheer. The national capital continued to swelter on Wednesday as temperatures crossed the 43 degrees Celsius mark at several weather stations. However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a significant increase in pre-monsoon activity from Thursday onwards, raising hopes of widespread rainfall and a noticeable drop in temperatures across the region. The weather department has also issued a yellow alert for the city and forecast very light to light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 40 to 50 kmph during the night.
