In effect, rain cools the weather temporarily, however the warmth will not really persist.

Other than rain which causes floods, thunderstorms can cause many dangers including lightning and sudden gusty winds. One needs to move into a building during an active thunderstorm, stay away from all open fields and be sure not to stand alone under one’s tree.

The advisory also emphasizes staying indoors, keeping windows and doors shut, deferring travels for long whenever possible in thunderstorms, staying away from trees etc.

What should you do during a thunderstorm?

How can rain affect Delhi-NCR traffic?

Heavy rainfall is a common contributor to traffic incidents as it can diminish visibility and lead to pooled water where traffic generally encounters problems. High winds, on the other hand, are capable of displacing large objects – such as fallen branches – and thunderstorms have the potential to cause unpredictable traffic disruption.

Motorists are advised to ascertain the road traffic before they depart; give themselves extra time to get where they are going and give water anywhere they notice any possibility of it getting on the roadway.

Ghaziabad rain: What happens to temperature after rainfall?

Rain and clouds often contribute to a temporary cooling of temperatures. The amount of cooling that the temperature undergoes varies between intense rainfall and light drizzle/overcast conditions and this is influenced by various conditions including wind and humidity.

Cool weather should consequently be seen as providing only immediate relief as a result of rain and cloud rather than indicating that hot conditions have concluded.

What is the Delhi-NCR weather outlook?

In forecasting the Delhi-NCR weather pattern the most recent IMD forecast must be used. This is due to the nature that thunderstorms, rains can change at very little notice. Based on past forecasts, the weather may become one of heat with heavy spells of thunderstorms, and rains for short duration for this region.

It should be borne in mind the various pronouncements through the month in the IMD May 2025 bulletin concerning the volatility over north-west India that brought with it spells of rains and thunderstorms for Delhi-NCR.
