The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced that light to moderate rainfall, and in some cases, heavy showers, are anticipated in regions such as Bihar, East Rajasthan, and more.

The IMD observed at 2:15 PM that Delhi could witness light to moderate rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds reaching up to 80 kmph. These conditions are forecasted to last until 4:15 PM.
