Delhi caught napping! Rain brings the good, the bad, and the ugly
Delhi-NCR residents and even the IMD were caught off guard by Friday's intense thunderstorm and heavy rain. The IMD's nowcast failed to predict the storm's severity, with Safdarjung recording 60mm of rain in three hours. The confluence of intense heat, moisture from both the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, strong westerlies, and a western disturbance created the potent storm.
