The national capital recorded its wettest May without a day of heatwave this month, the India Meteorological Department has said, adding that rainfall in the city surpassed all previous records for May.

The IMD has also issued red alerts for five of the northeastern states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, and Meghalaya.

It also predicted light to moderate rainfall to continue across northeastern India in the next seven days. In sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely between May 30 and June 1.

Delhi’s Wettest May

The IMD said that Delhi recorded its wettest May this year with 188.9 mm of downpour. The month of May, when summer usually hampers people’s daily lives, did not see even a day of a heatwave this year. Last year, in the same month, the city had recorded six heatwave days.

The capital city received 188.9 mm of rainfall between May 1 and May 30, the IMD said. The city was marred by thunderstorms and heavy winds this month.
