A thunderstorm with heavy rain pounded Delhi and the National Capital Region on Saturday evening. Around 6 pm, heavy rain fell on parts of Delhi, including the south and southeast. The IMD issued a rain forecast a day ago, predicting that the city would experience rain, thunder, and lightning, with a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

The recent rainfall has kept the temperature in Delhi-NCR from rising. Even on Friday, the city saw a trace of rain, and the maximum temperature was recorded three degrees below normal, at 16.8 degrees Celsius.

Hailstorms and rain are expected to fall over adjoining areas of the NCR (Gurugram) over the next hour, according to the Regional Weather Forecasting Centre (RWFC) in New Delhi on Saturday evening.

"01/04/2023; 18:00 IST; In continuation with previous weather alert Hail storm/Precipitation is likely to occur over and adjoining areas of NCR (Gurugram) during next 1 hour," RWFC said in a tweet.

On Friday morning, several parts of Delhi were flooded as the national capital experienced heavy rain.
