A series of western disturbances has caused heavy rain and strong winds across Delhi, Chandigarh, and nearby districts, leading to a significant drop in regional temperatures.

一系列的西風擾動導致德里、昌迪加爾及附近地區出現大雨與強風，導致該地區氣溫大幅下降。

The current weather conditions are caused by a western disturbance over the Himalayas and a circular wind system over the plains. Consequently, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued several color-coded alerts. In the Delhi-NCR region, specifically Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad, orange alerts were issued for thunderstorms and dust storms with winds reaching 60 kmph. Meanwhile, the Chandigarh area faced a red alert due to severe storms with wind speeds between 60-80 kmph, which caused power outages and the collapse of large signs.

目前的天氣狀況是由於喜馬拉雅山脈上空的西風擾動以及平原上空的氣旋風系統所引起。因此，印度氣象局 (IMD) 發布了數個顏色分級的警告。在德里-國家首都區 (NCR)，特別是高塔姆·布德那加爾與加濟阿巴德，針對雷暴以及風速達 60 公里/小時的沙塵暴發布了橙色警告。同時，昌迪加爾地區因風速介於 60 至 80 公里/小時的嚴重風暴而面臨紅色警告，導致停電與大型招牌倒塌。

Local authorities focused on reducing risks to the public. For example, the Ghaziabad district administration urged people to stay away from old buildings and electric poles. In Delhi, the IMD's red alert for Friday night meant that people had to follow safety rules to avoid dangers from winds gusting up to 80 kmph. These storms helped lower the heat; Chandigarh recorded its lowest June minimum temperature in fifteen years at 19.9°C, while Delhi's maximum temperature dropped to around 34.6°C.

當地政府專注於降低對公眾的風險。例如，加濟阿巴德區政府呼籲民眾遠離舊建築與電線桿。在德里，IMD 對週五夜晚發布的紅色警告意味著民眾必須遵守安全規定，以避免最高時速 80 公里的陣風所造成的危險。這些風暴幫助降低了酷熱；昌迪加爾記錄到 19.9°C，為十五年來六月的最低最低溫，而德里的最高溫則下降至約 34.6°C。

Furthermore, these events follow a period of extreme heat in May 2026, when temperatures in Uttar Pradesh reached 48.2°C. During that time, misinformation spread on social media through an old graphic from 2022. This image wrongly confused Land Surface Temperature (LST)—the heat of the ground—with the actual air temperature. Meteorologists emphasized that while LST can be 10 to 20°C higher than the air temperature during the day, it is not the standard measure for human heat exposure.

此外，這些事件發生在 2026 年 5 月的極端高溫期之後，當時北方邦的氣溫達到了 48.2°C。當時，社交媒體上透過一張 2022 年的舊圖散布了錯誤資訊。該圖片將「地表溫度」(LST)——即地面的熱度——與實際氣溫混淆。氣象學家強調，雖然地表溫度在白天可能比氣溫高出 10 到 20°C，但它並非衡量人類熱暴露的標準指標。

The region will continue to experience occasional weather disturbances, and temperatures are expected to stay below 40°C for now before they gradually increase again.

該地區將繼續出現偶爾的天氣擾動，預計氣溫暫時將維持在 40°C 以下，隨後才會逐漸回升。
