Delhi NCR Witness Heavy Rainfall, IMD Issues Yellow Alert

Delhi NCR received heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in the early hours of Friday. 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that light to moderate-intensity rainfall would occur over the national capital and its adjoining NCR region.

The region received pre-monsoon showers on Wednesday that reduced Delhi’s maximum temperature to below 40°C.

IMD has issued a ‘yellow alert’ till July 3, with forecasts showing moderate to heavy rain to continue for the next seven days in Delhi.

The IMD further predicted that the monsoon will arrive in Delhi in the next 2-3 days.

Due to heavy rainfall, Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad traffic snarls and waterlogged roads.

This heavy downpour has brought much-needed relief from the heat.

Reportedly, a portion of the roof at Delhi Airport's Terminal 1 collapsed due to heavy rain, leaving one dead and injuring at least six people.
