Following the heavy downpour, the weather department issued a red alert in northeast and southeast Delhi, predicting light to moderate showers for the national capital throughout the week.
Delhi witnessed waterlogging in several parts due to the showers received after hours of downpour on Tuesday. The area near the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport also experienced heavy rain. However, flight operations were not disturbed due to bad weather, according to a report by India Today.
Meanwhile, traffic jams were also witnessed in several areas, including South Delhi, ITO, and the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road.
“There is a possibility of light to moderate rain on Wednesday, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. From Thursday, we will mainly see scattered very light to light rain,” an IMD official said. The IMD has also forecasted heavy downpours to continue near the foothills with the trough hovering there till July 24.

The weather department also predicted that localised flooding of roads, waterlogging in low-lying areas, and closure of underpasses are likely due to the continuous rain. In addition, it also warned of minor damage to kutcha houses and huts.
Meanwhile, a concern was raised after a potential spike in Yamuna water levels in Delhi after water discharge from the Hathnikund Barrage of Haryana, which has breached the 50,000 cusecs mark for the first time this monsoon.
