US EditionDelhi Rains: Heavy Downpour Lashes Parts of National Capital Region, IMD Issues Red Alert
- On Tuesday, heavy rain struck Delhi and the National Capital Region, causing severe waterlogging and diverting at least 12 flights between 3 pm and 4 pm at Indira Gandhi International Airport.
- The rain came after a super hot month and followed an IMD red alert warning of thunderstorms, hail, and gusty winds up to 70 km/h in Delhi and surrounding areas.
- Waterlogging occurred rapidly in areas such as Punjabi Bagh, Patel Nagar, Mahipalpur, and key intersections where non-functional water pumps led to knee-deep flooding and traffic congestion.
- Temperatures dropped from 34 to about 29 degrees Celsius, offering relief from muggy conditions, while citizens expressed frustration online with one user quoting, "No hope from this system anymore."
- Residents welcomed the respite but officials advised caution during ongoing showers and lightning, recommending limited travel, unplugging electrical devices, and avoiding shelter under trees or metal structures.
