Heavy Rain and Thunderstorm Projections
IMD has highlighted the potential for heavy rain in North-East Uttar Pradesh and thunderstorms in other areas on Sunday. However, the impact of these weather patterns is expected to diminish gradually, with a reduction in thunderstorm activity from the following day onward.

Focus Areas for Alert
An Orange alert has been issued specifically for Haryana, North-East Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. However, North-East Uttar Pradesh is particularly at risk of heavy rainfall, while other regions should be prepared for thunderstorm activity.
Relief from Hot Weather Conditions
The sudden change in weather, marked by heavy rains, thunderstorms, and gusty winds, brings relief from the prevailing hot weather conditions in parts of Delhi-NCR and North India.
