The paper gives a number of statistical facts about squalls at Delhi. Change of surface wind direction at the onset of squalls and during their progress and the time taken to reach the peak speed have also been briefly discussed. Squally winds which do not strictly conform to the definition of squall but have all the important features of squall, have also been examined. A list of severe squalls (with peak speed of more than 50 mph) is given in Appendix I.
