The IMD has said weak moisture flow and the absence of major weather systems have delayed the southwest monsoon's advance across Maharashtra, with only isolated rainfall expected in the coming days.
In Haryana, rain was reported in Panchkula, Fatehabad, and Sirsa during the morning hours, while light showers continued in parts of the state later in the day.
In the advisory, the administration has asked Noida residents to exercise caution even as the Delhi-NCR region braces for strong bout of weather changes that could result in high speed winds, thunderstorms and lightning strikes.
The residents of Delhi-NCR are likely to face scorching temperatures and strong hot winds from May 19 to May 22.
Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are also expected at isolated locations in Telangana during this period.
