Strong dust storms and gusty winds followed by rain hit Delhi on Friday, causing trees to be uprooted in several parts of Delhi-NCR.

The national capital saw a sudden change in weather in the evening, with sharp temperature drops at weather stations. At Palam, the temperature dropped by 10 degrees Celsius, and at Safdarjung weather station, the mercury dipped by 7 degrees Celsius due to the dust storm, PTI quoted the weather office.

Civic bodies have received more than 20 calls on uprooted trees in several parts, including Feroz Shah Road, Ashoka Road, Mandi House, and Connaught Place, and it led to traffic congestion.

Thunderstorms led to power disruptions in several parts of the city, primarily due to trees and branches falling on electricity cables.
