**NEW DELHI –** North India’s plains, typically sweltering in May, have experienced an unusually cool start to the month thanks to strong winds and unexpected rainfall. This pleasant weather is expected to continue for at least another four days, according to the meteorological department.
A yellow alert has been issued for Tuesday, warning of winds reaching speeds of 30-50 kilometers per hour.
