Heavy rain lashed parts of Delhi on July 29, bringing life to a standstill in several parts of the city. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the rain is likely to continue for the next seven days, till August 3. As water gushed through the streets, several key areas of the capital, including Connaught Place and ITO, experienced severe waterlogging. The downpour not only flooded roads but also led to traffic snarls and long delays, making it difficult for commuters to move around the city. A video, which has now gone viral on social media, captured the intensity of the situation. Viral video shows flooded streets In the clip, a stretch in Connaught Place is completely submerged. Shops remain shut due to waterlogging. The clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on July 29. 'The NCR is the only place on the planet that can boast of two Venices side by side. Gurugram and Delhi. Well done folks. Great fillip to Brand India." Take a look at the video here: The NCR is the only place on the planet that can boast of two Venices side by side. Gurugram and Delhi. Well done folks. Great fillip to Brand India. — SUHEL SETH (@Suhelseth) July 29, 2025 The video has received over one lakh views so far and has triggered a flurry of reactions online.

London Weather Forecast For India Vs England 5th Test: Will Rain Allow Full Game At The Oval?
Last Updated: IND Vs ENG 5th Test: Weather forecast and pitch report for the final match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England. India and England collide for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval in London from Thursday (July 31). The Shubman Gill-led India fought back at Old Trafford to force a draw. The came out with a spirited and skillful performance after conceding 311-run lead and losing two wickets for nought at the start of their second innings. On a docile pitch, England posted 669 after having skittled out the visitors for 358. With an Indian win firmly out of the equation by that stage, it was about playing out five sessions on a deteriorating surface in Manchester for Gill's men to ensure they stay alive in the series. India started the decisive third innings on a disastrous note, losing opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharson without a run on the board. It appeared that the Test would be over inside four days. What followed, however, would go down as one of India's impressive batting performances to salvage a draw on foreign soil. Opener KL Rahul (90) and skipper Gill (103) led the fightback with a solid partnership that took India to stumps without another hiccup, before magnificent unbeaten centuries from allrounders Ravindra Jadeja (107*) and Washington Sundar (101*) secured parity for their side on the final afternoon. India would take immense confidence into the final Test, which they must win to level the series 2-2. The pitch at The Oval is renowned as a traditionally good surface for batting and recent county fixture at this venue saw teams rack up close to 1500 runs combined. The Oval has also seen big scores in first-class cricket in what has been a dry English summer. The average first-innings score on the ground stands at 343. However, the weather may have a direct influence on the strip. Gloomy skies with moist air and some afternoon showers are in the forecast for the start of the Test match on Thursday, followed by couple of cloudy days and then some showers for the final two days. The temperatures will range between 14 degrees Celsius and 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of up to 13 km/hour and humidity around 88 per cent. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
