IMD predicts more rain in Delhi

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a generally cloudy sky with moderate rain in Delhi on Monday, July 14. The city is likely to witness thunderstorms accompanied by rain from July 15 to July 20.

The city had already witnessed heavy showers on Sunday, resulting in widespread waterlogging and traffic snarls. Key junctions like Rajiv Chowk experienced significant congestion as vehicle movement slowed due to submerged roads.

Since last Wednesday, incessant rain has led to major disruptions in parts of Delhi, with localities like Bindapur in Uttam Nagar seeing submerged streets and stalled traffic.

Authorities have urged commuters to plan their travel accordingly and stay updated with weather and traffic advisories.
