The Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that on May 16, there is a threat of strong storm, lightning and heavy rain in a large part of the country. Due to this changing mood, life may be affected, hence everyone has been advised to remain alert.

The harsh rays of the sun will trouble people in the afternoon, but by evening the mood of the weather can change completely. According to meteorologists, the sky of Delhi will be covered with dense clouds in the evening and dusty winds can blow at a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.
