New Delhi: Parts of Delhi-NCR received Heavy rain for the second consecutive day on Friday with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting more showers during the day.
Although the rain brought respite from the scorching heat it also caused waterlogging in several parts of the national capital.
Visuals shared by the news agency ANI on X showed roads inundated and long traffic in parts of Delhi.
The Safdarjung Observatory, the capital’s primary weather station, recorded 154 mm of rainfall between yesterday and today morning, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
Earlier on Thursday, rain in Delhi lowered the temperature to 35.4 degrees Celsius. Delhi had been reeling from the sweltering heat, recording nine heatwave days in June so far against none in 2023 and 2022.
The monsoon is set to arrive in Delhi in the next two to three days, the IMD said on Thursday.
The IMD said in a statement that conditions are likely to become favourable for the advance of the southwest monsoon in the capital during the next two to three days.
