The bustling regions of Delhi, including Noida and the entire NCR, awoke to a mesmerizing morning filled with gusty winds and rain on July 7. By 5 a.m., the skies grumbled in anticipation, creating an atmosphere charged with expectation. Shortly thereafter, around 5:30 a.m., a gentle drizzle evolved into a steady, soaking rain accompanied by the whoosh of winds.
Monsoon made its anticipated advance into Delhi and its surroundings before the predicted time of June 30, yet significant rainfall remained elusive. Today brings hope as this rain may truly mark a monsoon commencement in Delhi-NCR. According to the meteorological department, this morning was expected to feature thunderstorms and light to moderate rainfall. As a result, waterlogging has occurred in several areas. Commuters might face traffic congestion during office hours.

Simultaneously, in the plains, swelling rivers and streams pose severe threats. Mountainous states like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are facing significant challenges.
