Delhi Weather: Heavy rain lashes national capital, waterlogging reported – check IMD's forecast

Mint5 days ago
Heavy rainfall lashed several parts of Delhi on Tuesday, providing much-needed relief from the extreme heat. However, many areas experienced problems of waterlogging and traffic congestion.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more rain throughout the day, forecasting a "generally cloudy sky with moderate rain." The weather agency has also predicted more showers for tomorrow.
Waterlogging was reported in parts of south and southwest Delhi after fresh rainfall, causing slow-moving traffic and flooded streets, commuters said.
Visuals from the Sangam Vihar area showed vehicles plying on flooded streets. A bike also got stuck in a waterlogged area, with the rider trying to move his vehicle. Schoolchildren were seen slowly crossing the waterlogged street, which made movement difficult for them.
Visuals also emerged showing rainwater flowing down the stairs of the Parliament building, while vehicles moved past in the background. Meanwhile, due to the downpour, the Opposition's planned protest at the Makar Dwar of the Parliament building under the banner of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign was postponed. Officials said the demonstration would now be held after the House is adjourned for the day.
The weather department has stated that the temperature in Delhi will vary between 36 degrees Celsius and 23 degrees Celsius over the next seven days, until July 28.
According to the IMD, the city will experience generally cloudy skies with very light to light or moderate rain, accompanied by thunderstorms or lightning, over the next seven days.

A rainy end to month? After humid spell, intense showers set to lash Gurgaon

Gurgaon: After a dry spell, most parts of Haryana, including the city, are likely to see moderate to heavy showers on July 28 and 29, with the monsoon expected to shift south of Delhi and intensify over neighbouring regions. According to IMD, rainfall activity is expected to be widespread across Gurgaon, Faridabad, and south Haryana areas, especially in the late evening and early morning hours. "Weather models show that a low-pressure system currently active over north India will move towards northeast Rajasthan. This will likely trigger heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of Rajasthan and northern Madhya Pradesh. Delhi, which lies just north of this system, could also see spillover rain," an IMD official said.

The maximum temperature remained steady at 34.1°C, while it was 34.7°C on Saturday.

Meanwhile in Delhi, the maximum temperature was recorded at 37.5 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature, however, stood at 28.8 degrees Celsius.

New Delhi: The Delhi-NCR region is expected to witness rain in the remaining days of July due to an approaching low-pressure system. Though the India Meteorological Department has not issued any colour-coded warnings, it has predicted light to moderate precipitation in the capital from Monday to Wednesday, followed by scattered light showers on Thursday. "The well-marked low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh is moving towards east Rajasthan and weakened into a low-pressure area. It will change direction towards the northeast and will reach northeast Rajasthan and adjoining north Madhya Pradesh by Monday. Excess of monsoon trough will also be just south of Delhi. The Western disturbance is over Jammu Kashmir," said Mahesh Palawat, vice-president at Skymet Meteorology. Due to the combination of these systems, heavy to very heavy rain is expected over Uttarakhand and western districts of UP, northeast Rajasthan and north Madhya Pradesh. "Delhi and parts of Haryana may also get moderate showers on Monday and Tuesday," said Palawat.
