For Delhi-NCR, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast partly cloudy skies on 31 May, with the possibility of thunderstorms, dust storms, lightning and strong winds later in the day. While isolated areas may receive light rainfall, widespread rain is not expected across the region.According to the latest IMD forecast, weather conditions over Delhi-NCR are being influenced by a Western Disturbance and associated cyclonic circulations over Pakistan and adjoining areas. These systems are likely to bring unstable weather conditions, especially during the evening and night hours.Will It Rain in Delhi-NCR Today?The IMD has predicted a partly cloudy sky becoming generally cloudy, with a spell of very light to light rain at isolated places in Delhi-NCR on 31 May.There is also a possibility of thunderstorms accompanied by thunder, lightning and strong winds during the evening and night. While many areas may remain dry, a few localities could witness brief showers.IMD Forecast: Dust Storm and Strong Winds LikelyOne of the key weather highlights for today is the likelihood of strong winds and dust-raising activity.The IMD expects wind speeds of 40-50 kmph, with gusts reaching up to 60 kmph during thunderstorms. Such conditions may lead to reduced visibility in some areas and temporary disruptions to outdoor activities.People travelling during the evening are advised to stay updated with local weather alerts.Why Is Delhi's Weather Changing?The current weather pattern is being influenced by multiple atmospheric systems over north-west India.A Western Disturbance in the middle tropospheric westerlies, along with cyclonic circulations over central Pakistan and adjoining regions, is affecting weather conditions across northern India. Several troughs extending from Pakistan towards Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha are also helping moisture and instability build up over the region.These systems are responsible for the cloud cover, gusty winds and chances of isolated rain in Delhi-NCR.Delhi Temperature Forecast for TodayDelhi is expected to record a maximum temperature between 36°C and 38°C, while the minimum temperature is likely to remain between 22°C and 24°C.Despite cloudy conditions, temperatures are expected to remain close to seasonal levels.
