A sudden shift in weather conditions on Sunday afternoon transformed the skies over Delhi, leading to a massive dust storm that disrupted daily life and air travel. The storm, characterized by strong winds, forced at least four flights to change thier routes between 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM due to poor visibility. Videos from various parts of the capital showcased the swirling dust, prompting pedestrians to seek shelter as the storm intensified. Shortly after the dust storm, rain accompanied by thunderstorms began to pour over the city, a development that had been forecasted earlier.
The impact of the storm was felt across the region, with temperatures dropping nearly 9 degrees celsius following rainfall on Saturday evening. Many areas in Delhi experienced a significant drop in temperature on Sunday, providing a brief respite from the heat. As the dust settled, residents were left to navigate the aftermath of the storm, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of Delhi’s weather and its effects on daily life.
