  "account": "On Saturday, 5 September, Delhi experienced heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for the city. The adverse weather caused waterlogging and traffic disruptions, with Palam recording the highest rainfall of 84 mm. The IMD predicted \"generally cloudy skies with one or two spells of light to moderate rain accompanied by thunderstorm/lightning,\" with temperatures between 29°C and 31°C during the day and 24°C to 26°C at night. Delhi Traffic Police advised commuters to avoid parking under bridges or waterlogged areas. The heavy downpour ended a dry spell and overwhelmed the drainage system, causing waterlogging in several locations, including near Indira Gandhi International Airport. Despite the inclement weather, flight operations remained normal.",
