After a massive dust storm hit Delhi-NCR early Wednesday morning, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a thunderstorm alert.
"Thunderstorm accompanied with squall with a wind speed reaching 50-70 kmph very likely at isolated places over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand," the weather department predicted today.
Thunderstorm accompanied with gusty winds very likely at isolated places over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and South Interior Karnataka, it predicted.
Areas of Jind, Rohtak, Panipat, Alwar, Bagpat, Meerut and Aligarh may witness light rain with thunderstorm early on Wednesday, the weather department had said earlier.
Strong winds, accompanied by dust, lashed the city while bringing a sudden decline in the temperature on Wednesday, uprooting trees and disrupting power supply.
This was the second such storm to hit the national capital in the past four days.
After the Sunday storm, the weather department had said that the thunderstorm will continue for the next 48 to 72 hours.
