Delhi-NCR to Get Rain Relief as IMD Forecasts Thunderstorms and Gusty Winds Amid Advancing Monsoon
India's weather map is entering one of its most dynamic phases of the year as the southwest monsoon continues its gradual advance across the country. The latest weather bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicates changing conditions over several regions, bringing a mix of widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and heatwave conditions through the coming days.
In some regions, incoming monsoon showers are expected to transform landscapes into greener and more inviting destinations. In others, intense weather activity could influence road journeys, sightseeing schedules, and outdoor travel plans.
The weather department has predicted intermittent rain and thunderstorm activity across the region from June 18 to June 21, 2026. According to the IMD forecast, Delhi-NCR will see a partly cloudy sky today, June 19, with wind speeds that may range between 40 kmph and 50 kmph, and gusts reaching up to 60 kmph.
According to the forecast, the maximum and minimum temperatures in Delhi on Friday, June 19, are likely to be in the ranges of 40°C to 42°C and 27°C to 29°C, respectively. The minimum temperature is expected to remain near normal (-1.5°C to 1.5°C) at most places, while the maximum temperature is likely to remain above normal (1.6°C to 3.0°C) across most places in Delhi.
The predominant surface wind is likely to be from the west, with wind speeds reaching up to 15 kmph during the morning hours. The wind speed will increase to around 20 kmph from the west during the afternoon. It is expected to further increase to around 25 kmph from the west during evening and night. “Possibility of very light/light rain with thunderstorm/ lightning/dust storm and strong winds speed 40-50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph towards forenoon/afternoon,” the IMD stated.
As the monsoon weather keeps advancing across the country, travel plans may need to be increasingly flexible. Seasonal travel offers some of India’s most rewarding visual experiences, but changing weather conditions can become an equally important part of the journey itself.
