Fri Dec 27 14:40:38 UTC 2024: ## Delhi-NCR Shivers as Winter Storm Brings Rain and Falling Temperatures

**NEW DELHI –** A significant weather change has swept across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), bringing heavy rain and a noticeable drop in temperature. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributes the shift to a western disturbance, forecasting intermittent rain and further temperature decreases over the next 24 hours.

Light to moderate rain is expected to continue throughout Friday, with similar conditions predicted for Saturday, December 28th. While generally cloudy with occasional light showers are expected Saturday morning into the afternoon, the IMD has issued a rain alert for both Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday’s forecast includes the possibility of dense fog in several areas of Delhi-NCR, particularly in the morning, with strong winds throughout the day followed by more fog in the evening. The beginning of next week (Monday, December 30th) may see slower wind speeds, but widespread moderate fog, and dense fog in certain areas, is anticipated, potentially impacting visibility.

The ongoing rain and snowfall in the Uttarakhand mountains are contributing to the colder temperatures in the plains. The IMD anticipates that temperatures in Delhi-NCR will continue to fall in the coming days, with strong winds exacerbating the chill, especially during mornings and evenings.
