Heavy downpours are being observed in the Delhi-NCR region, and forecasts suggest that the monsoon season will not end anytime soon. There is a possibility that the weather in some areas may change abruptly within the next two hours. Intense rain is expected in places such as Ghaziabad, East Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Delhi, and South Delhi. During the precipitation, lightning flashes and loud thunderclaps may accompany it, and wind speeds could reach 25 kilometers per hour.
Weather conditions will not be uniform across all of Delhi-NCR. While some areas anticipate heavy rain, neighboring zones might only experience light rain or cloudiness. Visibility on roads may decrease during the downpour, and puddles are forming in certain locations. Therefore, people are advised to exercise caution when going outdoors in the coming hours.
Amidst the changing weather in Delhi, a serious traffic jam has formed on MB Road. This is causing delays for people commuting to work, as well as those heading to the airport or Saket Court. On Monday, the weather in the capital, Delhi, changed, and as usual, traffic congestion is visible throughout Delhi-NCR. A severe traffic jam is present on MB Road in Delhi; near Sangam Vihar, people have been stuck in traffic for about an hour.
An Air Force employee stuck in traffic reported that jams occur daily, and the situation worsens during rainy weather. He noted that they constantly receive reprimands and fail to report for duty on time. Today, he had to get stuck in traffic for an hour. He specified that he works at an aviation station.
A taxi passenger caught in the jam stated that he needed to reach Delhi Airport for a 13:00 flight and had been stuck in traffic for half an hour, doubting whether he would make the flight. Another car passenger mentioned being stuck in traffic for an hour and unable to move forward. Aas Mohammed stated that he was supposed to arrive at Saket Court by 10:00 but could not reach the court due to the traffic, as he has a court hearing today.
Rain is forecasted for some parts of Ghaziabad, East Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Delhi, and South Delhi over the next two hours. The weather may also change in the vicinity of these areas. The intensity of the rainfall may vary in different locations and could be heavy for a short period.
Along with the rain, increased winds are expected, with speeds potentially reaching 25 kilometers per hour. During strong winds, one should avoid staying near trees, dilapidated signs, and unfinished construction sites. Motorcycle drivers must also exercise extra caution.
The impact of the rain in Delhi-NCR can vary locally, so it is crucial to monitor weather conditions over the next two hours. If there are no urgent matters, it is better to refrain from going outside during heavy rain and thunderstorms. Travel should only be undertaken if absolutely necessary, and one must drive cautiously through flooded road sections.
