The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi-NCR, warning of a dust storm accompanied by strong winds and a heatwave on May 25, 2026. Satellite imagery shows a thick layer of sand and haze approaching the region, driven by strong westerly winds from Rajasthan.
The dust storm has already reached parts of west Haryana and is expected to affect Delhi-NCR later tonight. No rain-bearing clouds are visible, and temperatures are likely to remain high, with the IMD predicting a heatwave in several areas.
Residents are advised to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and take precautions against heatstroke. The yellow alert indicates that the weather is potentially hazardous, and people should be prepared for disruptions.
