MONSOON UPDATES : Heavy rainfall alert in Delhi-NCR for today, schools closed in Noida | Abp news

Delhi on Thursday had the second day of nonstop mild to moderate rain, which caused some neighbourhoods to get flooded and disrupted traffic flow on major routes around the city, reported news agency PTI. An "orange alert" was also issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warning of periodic heavy rain that might hinder visibility, hamper traffic, and damage kutcha roads and vulnerable structures.

The recent rainy spells that occurred just before the monsoon withdrew from the National Capital Region may well assist to make up for the significant shortfall (46% in September so far). Additionally, it would maintain a stable temperature and pure air.

The city saw a minimum temperature of 23.8 degrees Celsius, and a maximum temperature of 28 degrees Celsius is anticipated. At 2:00 pm, the air quality index was 61 (satisfactory).

Over the next two to three days, the IMD warned that light rain may fall in several areas of Delhi. Only 58.5 millimetres of rainfall had been recorded at Delhi's main meteorological station, Safdarjung Observatory, thus far in September compared to a normal of 108.5 millimetres.
