Delhi and its neighbouring areas on Wednesday witnessed severe dust storm with heavy wind uprooting trees and affecting traffic movement. The heavy dust storm brought down the visibility with cars stranded on the side of the roads in Delhi-NCR. Operations were briefly halted at Indira Gandhi International airport due to the dust storm but were resumed soon after. Over the next few days, Delhi may experience thunderstorm or dust storm leading to slight rain, said a MeT department official. The official said the maximum temperature is likely to be between 41 to 42 degrees Celsius on June 12 and 13; 43 degrees Celsius between June 14 to 16; and 39 degrees Celsius on June 17.
