Rainfall measuring 6mm was recorded by Wednesday morning, followed by an additional 2.4mm later in the day. These early showers caused traffic congestion in many areas during the morning rush hour, particularly in Vasant Vihar, Dwarka, INA, and the Outer Ring Road. The Central Pollution Control Board reported an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 71 for Delhi at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, which falls under the 'satisfactory' category.
