The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for the National Capital Territory, predicting thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over the next few hours, specifically through the evening of June 11.

This alert indicates severe weather conditions, which may bring wind speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour in some areas. Residents are advised to take precautions, stay indoors when possible, and secure loose items that could be affected by strong winds.

The IMDs warning is part of its broader efforts to provide timely weather updates, especially as the monsoon season progresses, which typically begins in June and continues through September.
