Delhi-NCR Weather Update for June 15, 2026: Dark Clouds, Dusty Winds Signal Heavy Rain Today, Flight Ops Hit; Check Weekly Forecast

Delhi- residents have seen a dramatic change in weather in the last few days as dust storms, strong winds, thunderstorms and scattered showers replaced the intense summer heat. While the change in weather was a much-expected relief from the heat, there have been some disruptions in the daily routine of many of the cities of the Delhi-NCR region.

Wear weather officials said the changing weather was the result of a western disturbance mixing with moisture-laden winds creating instability in the atmosphere. This in turn increases the chances of thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds in the places of Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad.

Delhi Weather Update

Dusty winds and low visibility has been recorded in many places of Delhi-NCR in the last few days. Winds were so strong that they lifted dust into the air and from there it clogged the skies and created a difficult situation for commuters and passengers. In many places the visibility appeared to be low when dust clouding swept across cities.

The storms have come with a drastic change in temperatures as well as cooler winds which replaced the dry hotter weather which had been prevalent in the region for a few days before.

Weather bulletin indicates that the rain and thunderstorm activity may continue intermittently over the next few days. The temperatures are expected to remain cotton-candy with scattered showers and gusty winds, or even thunderstorms in some areas in the afternoon and evening sessions.

Delhi Travel Advisory

The extreme weather conditions have also impacted air travel in the national capital too. Airlines have urged passengers to be advised for possible flight delays due to thunderstorm activity, high winds and variable visibility.

In the travel advisory, airlines have notified: “Due to the adverse weather conditions in Delhi, flight operations are impacted. We understand that the longer wait times both on the ground and onboard may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your patience.”

Weather experts predict Delhi-NCR to remain in a state of undesirable weather today as well. The temperature is likely to stay below recent high records, but there is a possibility of thunderstorm activity as well as dust storms.

Rain protection gear should be carried by people going outdoors, loose objects secured and official weather notifications followed. Commuters, especially the two-wheeler users, should also be ready for rapid changes in visibility and road conditions.
