New Delhi: In its latest bulletin, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has stated that significant changes in the country's weather are expected tomorrow - Thursday, June 4, 2026. According to the IMD, while there is a strong possibility of the Southwest Monsoon arriving in Kerala, warnings have been issued for rain accompanied by dust storms and hailstorms across several states in North and Central India.
The IMD noted that strong wind gusts are also expected during this period, which could lead to a drop in temperatures. Additionally, the IMD has issued an alert for light rain accompanied by thunderstorms for the national capital, Delhi, and the adjoining NCR region from June 4 to June 6. This is expected to provide relief from the heat and result in pleasant weather conditions.

During this period, winds are expected to blow at speeds reaching up to 90 kilometers per hour.

Furthermore, light rain accompanied by thunderstorms and dust storms may occur during the afternoon or evening hours.
