Overnight Light Rain in Parts of Delhi The national capital experienced a slight rise in minimum temperatures on Saturday, April 4, 2026, despite isolated areas of the city receiving light rain overnight. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a yellow alert for rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds ranging from 30 to 40 kmph for the day. This alert followed the overnight rainfall in certain parts of Delhi, which was reported by local weather stations. The Safdarjung weather station, which serves as the primary monitoring point for the city, recorded no rainfall during the night. However, other stations such as Palam reported light precipitation, with 1.9 millimeters of rain falling between 11:30 p.m. on Friday, April 3, 2026, and 2:30 a.m. on Saturday. These measurements indicate that the rainfall was localized and not widespread across the city. The IMD’s warning came as part of its routine weather updates, highlighting the potential for thunderstorms and strong winds during the day. The yellow alert is typically issued to advise the public to take precautions, such as avoiding unnecessary travel and securing outdoor objects. The department’s forecast suggests that the weather conditions could remain unstable, with the possibility of further rain or thunderstorms in the coming hours. The temperature data from Saturday’s morning showed a slight increase in the minimum temperature compared to the previous day. While the exact figures were not provided in the report, the overall trend indicates a gradual warming of the city’s climate. This is in contrast to the earlier part of the week, when cooler temperatures were observed. The combination of light rain and rising temperatures could lead to a humid environment, which may affect the comfort level of residents.#delhi #india_meteorological_department #safdarjung #the_hindu #palam
