The weather in Delhi-NCR has taken a dramatic turn recently. Yesterday’s heavy rains have returned today, disrupting daily life. Delhi witnessed torrential downpours with areas like Lutyens’ Delhi experiencing significant waterlogging. This led to substantial parts of Janpath Road and the path toward Jantar Mantar Road being underwater, even affecting local shops.
Flooding and Traffic Jams
Today, the regions of Delhi and Noida within NCR find themselves inundated due to heavy rains. Waterlogged streets have given rise to severe traffic jams, causing headaches for morning commuters heading to offices. However, the rains bring some relief from the summer heat and pollution, which is a welcome respite for Delhi residents. Such weather patterns are typical for the monsoon season in Delhi. The meteorological department predicts continuous rains over the coming days, prompting authorities to urge citizens to remain vigilant.
