On May 21, 2025, Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) were struck by a sudden dust storm accompanied by rain and hail, bringing temporary relief from extreme heat but causing widespread disruption. Wind speeds reached up to 79 kmph, uprooting trees, damaging property, and leading to power outages. Metro services and flights were affected. Tragically, five people lost their lives, including a man hit by a falling electric pole. Earlier in the day, the “feels-like” temperature had reached 50.2°C. The IMD issued a yellow alert, predicting continued unstable weather in the coming days. (PC: Hindustan Times)
