Dusty thunderstorm can prevail in Rajasthan

Apart from this, dust storms may also occur in Rajasthan on 20 April.

In Arunachal Pradesh, there is a possibility of heavy rains in the next two days. During this time there is also a possibility of rain with thunderstorms and thunderstorms throughout the region.

However, there is no possibility of any significant change in temperature in Delhi. The maximum temperature is expected to be 37-38 degree Celsius till 22 April.
