Delhi Weather Today: Residents of Delhi can expect a change in the weather today, on June 12, 2026 because the Indian Meteorological Department has said clouds can take over the morning of the national capital alongside light rain, thunderstorms, and lightning. IMD has also put a red alert noting strong winds may blow at different times, possibly with a speed of around 60 kmph. The rain and cool temperature are expected to give some relief from scorching heat to Delhi but still people are advised to stay alert during thunderstorms and avoid unnecessary outdoor travel.
The IMD has issued a red alert for Delhi for the next few hours due to thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds. The weather department has also stated the thunderstorm forecast for several states including Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and others.
“The minimum temperatures will be appreciably below normal (-3.1°C to -5.0°C) at most places, and the maximum temperatures will be appreciably below normal (-3.1°C to -5.0°C) at many places and markedly below normal (-5.1°C or less) at isolated places over Delhi. The predominant surface wind is likely to be from the east direction with surface wind speed reaching up to 18 kmph during the morning hours. The wind speed will gradually increase up to 20 kmph from the southeast direction during the afternoon. The wind speed will increase, reaching up to 25 kmph from the east direction during the evening and night,” the IMD stated.
In its weather bulletin, the IMD earlier stated that Delhi, along with Haryana and Chandigarh, is expected to experience hailstorms during June 11-12. The weather office has also extended this alert to several other parts of North India.
Northwest India is likely to witness a wet spell till June 13 under the influence of a Western Disturbance, the IMD said.
