After waterlogging, traffic chaos, Delhi NCR braces for more rain today; IMD issues yellow alert
According to the IMD update, thunderstorms with lightning and light to moderate rainfall are expected during the morning, afternoon and evening on September 5.
Delhi and the surrounding areas are still recovering from a non-stop rain on Friday evening, but the National Capital Region is preparing for another day of heavy rainfall on Saturday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts thunderstorms with lightning and light to moderate rainfall throughout the day on September 5.
Friday was particularly challenging due to continuous rainfall that caused waterlogging and heavy traffic in various regions, including Connaught Place and IGI Airport. Independent forecaster Navdeep Dahiya has also predicted an additional spell of heavy rain in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, and Faridabad from the afternoon to late evening on September 5.
Noida, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad could receive between 60-140mm of rainfall, while Delhi and Gurgaon may record between 30-80mm by midnight. Intermittent rain is expected in the first half of the day, followed by heavier downpours from the afternoon onwards, leading to potential waterlogging later in the day. The region is expected to remain cloudy with moderate rain on September 5, with temperatures between 25-30 degrees Celsius and humidity between 70-95 percent.
On September 6, conditions are expected to be generally cloudy with light rain or drizzle, temperatures between 23-32 degrees Celsius, and humidity between 65-90 percent. From September 7, the weather will turn partly cloudy, with temperatures ranging from 24-34 degrees Celsius and humidity between 55-85 percent. Partly cloudy conditions are forecast for September 9, with temperatures between 26-34 degrees Celsius and humidity between 50-80 percent.
The same temperature and humidity range is expected to continue on September 10, with partly cloudy skies.
