Rainfall was reported from several parts of Delhi as well as neighbouring areas of the NCR. The downpour came after the region had experienced humid and unsettled weather conditions. The IMD's Delhi-NCR weather service was monitoring conditions across Delhi as well as Gurugram, Faridabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar.

Traffic Disruptions Reported
The heavy rain affected traffic movement on several key roads in the Delhi-NCR region. Reduced visibility and water accumulation slowed vehicles during the evening rush hour.
The rainfall also provided some relief from the prevailing heat and humidity, with temperatures falling as the rain spread across the capital. Commuters were advised to allow additional travel time and exercise caution on roads affected by waterlogging or poor visibility.
More Showers Expected
The latest weather forecast suggests that the unsettled conditions are not limited to Tuesday evening. The IMD had forecast one or two spells of rain and thundershowers in Delhi-NCR on September 1, with the possibility of rainfall continuing in the following days. The weather department is continuing to monitor the situation as the monsoon remains active over parts of northern India.
Residents Advised to Stay Alert
With the orange alert in place and more rain forecast in the immediate period, residents have been advised to remain cautious, particularly while travelling. Authorities are also expected to monitor areas vulnerable to waterlogging and other weather-related disruptions as the rainfall continues. The situation remains dynamic, and further updates are expected from the IMD as the weather system moves through the Delhi-NCR region.
