Delhi residents are likely to get some relief from the scorching heat in the next few days as the weatherman has predicted light rains and thundershowers over the national capital under the influence of Cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ (pronounced Biporjoy). The landfall process of the cyclonic storm over the Gujarat coast started on Thursday evening, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD).
“The national capital is expected to receive light rains under the influence of Cyclone Biparjoy, which is gaining steam in the Arabian Sea,” private forecasting agency Skymet Weather had said earlier this week. The city is likely to receive light rains or thundershowers, accompanied by gusty winds, on June 18 and 19.
Meanwhile, as per the weather forecasting agency, most parts of North and East India are expected to continue reeling under heatwave for the next five days, while heavy rainfall will continue in most parts of northwest India due to the impact of cyclone Biparjoy.
