This ongoing rainy weather is attributed to a cyclonic circulation over western Rajasthan and adjoining areas of Pakistan, coupled with an active monsoon trough extending from Jammu to the Bay of Bengal. These meteorological conditions are instrumental in maintaining the current wet spell across Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad.
Because of the expected heavy rains, the IMD has declared a yellow alert for Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Punjab, and asked people to "be aware" of possible disruptions.
Travel Advisory Issued For IGI Airport
Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport officials have also issued a travel advisory to passengers. At 10:23 AM on X (previously Twitter), the airport said, "According to the Indian Meteorological Department's prediction, bad weather conditions are forecasted in Delhi. Yet, Delhi Airport operations are normal at present. Our ground staff is working hard with all stakeholders to keep your journey as smooth as possible. To get the latest flight updates, passengers are requested to call their respective airlines."
Joining the advisory, airline SpiceJet also cautioned its passengers about possible weather-induced delays. "Because of bad weather (heavy rain) at Delhi (DEL), all departures/arrivals and their resultant flights may be impacted. Passengers are asked to check the status of their flight through http://spicejet.com/#status," the airline put out on X.
