Moderate to heavy rain continued to lash several parts of the city and its adjoining areas on early Sunday morning with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting high-intensity showers over the National Capital for the next two days.
“Thunderstorms with light to moderate intensity rain would occur over and adjoining areas of isolated places of Delhi,” the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in a tweet on Sunday morning. Places, where the rainfall has been predicted, include Narela, Alipur, Rohini, Badili, Pitampura, Paschim Vihar, Punjabi Bagh, Kashmiri Gate, Seelampur, Rajauri Garden, Red Fort, Rajeev Chauk, ITO, Jafarpur. For two to three days, Delhi is expected to experience heavy rain, according to the IMD. “This week, there will be rain in North-West India, including Delhi. The intensity of the rain will be high for a couple of days, then it will lessen. The heat will lessen a bit during this time, according to Charan Singh, head of IMD, Delhi, on Saturday. On Saturday, Delhi was battered by heavy rain, flooding several parts of the national capital. Many areas, including Pragati Maidan, Nehru Nagar, Panchsheel Marg, Kalkaji, and ITO, became flooded, which hampered traffic flow.
