Delhi experienced heavy rainfall that led to widespread waterlogging and severe traffic congestion, prompting the Indian Meteorological Department to release an updated forecast.
The capital city of Delhi was hit by a sudden downpour that quickly turned streets into temporary streams, causing water to accumulate in low‑lying areas. Motorists faced long queues as major arterial roads and intersections became impassable, leading to significant delays across the city.
Local authorities responded by deploying emergency crews to clear drainage channels and assist stranded vehicles. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an advisory warning of continued showers and urged residents to avoid non‑essential travel until conditions improve.
Preliminary reports indicate that the rain, though brief, disrupted public transport schedules and heightened the risk of accidents in water‑logged zones. Officials continue to monitor the situation and will update the forecast as more data becomes available.
