At the beginning of last month, two minor earthquakes of magnitude 2.7 and 3.5 had struck the region of the national capital and the adjacent areas. “No significant potential damage is expected from these small earthquakes. This is a normal phenomenon, “said the National Center for Seismology.

During the day, torrential rains and a dust storm in the national capital and neighboring regions provided much-needed relief from the stifling heat, with weather predictions emphasizing that this condition is likely to remain for a few more days and will delay the onset of the heat wave.

“The activity is due to western disturbances. It has resulted in dust storms, thunderstorms, and light showers. Wind speed is currently 60 km per hour, “said Kuldeep Srivastava, Head of IMD’s Northwest Meteorological Center.
