The continuous downpour of heavy rains in Delhi-NCR for the third consecutive day has sparked a wave of creativity on social media, with Twitter users flooding the platform with amusing memes. While the rainfall brought relief from the scorching heat, it also resulted in waterlogging and traffic congestion across the region. As people sought solace in the pleasant weather, they took to Twitter to share their experiences through humorous and relatable posts.
Numerous key stretches in the city were affected by waterlogging due to the incessant rainfall. Public Works Department Minister Atishi stated that the water level of the Yamuna River is expected to surpass the danger mark by tomorrow morning. The Delhi government issued a flood warning following the release of over one lakh cusecs of water into the Yamuna river from the Hathnikund barrage in Haryana.
The hashtag '#DelhiRains' began trending on Twitter as users enthusiastically shared images and videos of the showers from their respective areas. The memes showcased the quirky and humorous side of Delhiites, capturing the essence of their monsoon experience.

The difficulties of commuting in flood-prone areas, as well as the difficulties faced by those without umbrellas, became popular topics for memes. Noida and Gurgaon, two neighbouring areas of Delhi, also received a lot of attention on Twitter, with users sharing images of rain and flooding in these areas.
