Why Delhi received an intense spell of rain today: from Western Disturbance to cyclonic circulation and strong winds

In the early hours of Friday, Delhi found itself at the centre of a rare but powerful weather setup — one that combined high moisture, clashing winds, and a dynamic lift in the atmosphere. What began as a quiet, overcast night with only isolated drizzles quickly escalated into one of the most intense pre-monsoon weather events the city has seen in recent years. The India Meteorological Department (IMD)’s Safdarjung station recorded 77 mm of rainfall within just a few hours — the second-highest single-day May total in 17 years. The heavy rain overwhelmed Delhi’s infrastructure, triggering widespread waterlogging, power outages, flight disruptions, and also led to a tree collapse that claimed four members of a family. Behind the downpour was a meteorological chain of events that explains why...
