Earlier, the IMD issued an orange alert for Delhi, predicting thunderstorms and moderate to heavy rain. Early morning rain in several regions of Delhi caused major traffic disruptions and caused waterlogging in low-lying areas.

Delhi has also noted a drop in temperature, below normal, due to the increase in rainfall. The IMD had predicted a maximum temperature of 30 degrees celsius on Thursday, but recorded temperature was approximately 26 degrees celsius.

Besides Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh is likely to face extremely heavy rain till September 14, said the IMD. The downpour is caused by a depression that formed over the Bay of Bengal and has now settled over northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining southwest Uttar Pradesh.

Isolated heavy rainfall is also expected over east Rajasthan till September 15. Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and west Rajasthan are also likely to experience heavy rainfall in isolated areas on Thursday.
