Delhi recorded its wettest May ever with 188.9 mm of rainfall, driven by frequent thunderstorms and gusty winds, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Remarkably, no heatwave days were observed in the capital this month, in contrast to six last year. Meanwhile, IMD issued red alerts for five northeastern states—Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, and Meghalaya—due to heavy to extremely heavy rainfall from a depression over Bangladesh. The alert warns of possible landslides and strong winds up to 60 km/h. Continued rainfall is expected in the northeast and sub-Himalayan regions over the next week. (PC: Business Today)
