Delhi-NCR saw a dust storm, heavy rain and thunderstorms on Tuesday evening. Pusa logged a peak wind speed of 128 kmph while Palam recorded 120 kmph, matching its 2001 record. The India Meteorological Department said the event eased the heat but caused disruption in several areas. Safdarjung saw winds of 64 kmph. Experts attributed it to a cyclonic circulation over central Pakistan combined with moisture from the Arabian Sea. Stronger pre-monsoon rain is expected from June 11.
