Thunderstorms with moderate to heavy rainfall intensity will occur over most places in the national capital Delhi and other adjoining regions in the national capital region (NCR) over the next two hours, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Lodhi Road and the area surrounding the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi, as well as places in the NCR such as Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Noida, may see heavy rain later in the day.
Delhi has been experiencing heavy rains this week, and roads in the national capital were flooded once again on Wednesday, following a similar spell the day before when heavy morning rains brought the city to a halt, with commuters struggling as key stretches were inundated, exposing the city’s pathetic drainage system, failure to prepare for the monsoon, and lack of a comprehensive paves plan.
At 5:40 a.m., the IMD issued a weather alert for Delhi. At 4:43 a.m., the Met Department issued another alert, this time adding a list of places in Delhi-NCR that could see potential rainfall today.
Here are the regions in Delhi-NCR where thunderstorms with heavy intensity rainfall are predicted to occur:
