Delhi was soaked on Monday as heavy rains lashed the national capital, leading to waterlogged streets and causing major traffic disruptions at key points like ITO.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that this wet spell will continue, with light to moderate rainfall expected in various parts of the city over the coming week. A persistent low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjacent eastern Rajasthan is influencing the current weather conditions.
No significant fluctuations in temperature have been observed, with the city's minimum temperatures hovering between 27 to 29°C, and the maximum reaching 35 to 36°C over the last 24 hours. Commuters faced severe delays as rain-soaked roads led to congestion, particularly in central areas.
