**Turbulence Rocks Delhi Skies: IndiGo Flight Lands Safely After Aborted Landing**

**New Delhi, June 2, 2025** – An IndiGo flight 6E 6313 from Raipur to Delhi experienced a tense landing attempt yesterday, June 1st, due to a sudden dust storm. As the aircraft neared touchdown, turbulence caused by the strong winds forced the pilot to discontinue the approach and climb back into the air. Passengers onboard reported a bumpy ride as the plane circled the airport awaiting better conditions.

“The pilot announced that the wind speed was up to 80 km/hrs, and he discontinued the approach and climbed back till the weather cleared,” reported sources familiar with the situation. Video of the incident quickly circulated on social media. The flight eventually landed safely at Delhi airport after numerous circles.

The near-miss occurred as Delhi was experiencing a spell of rain and strong winds, providing a welcome break from the morning’s heat. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the weather to an east-southeastward-moving cloud cluster. Earlier in the day, temperatures had soared, with Safdarjung recording 39.7 degrees Celsius, Ayanagar 39.5 degrees Celsius, Lodhi Road 39.4 degrees Celsius, and Palam 39.1 degrees Celsius.

However, the respite may be short-lived. The IMD has issued warnings for thunderstorms, lightning, and squalls for the next two days, June 2nd and 3rd, in Delhi and surrounding regions. A “nowcast” warning is in effect for eight districts, including South, South East, New Delhi, East, Central, Sahadara, and North East Delhi, with potential wind speeds reaching up to 80 kmph. Southwest, West and Northwest Districts are under advisory to watch out for light rains, thunderstorms, and lightning. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions.
