Weather Alert: Second Consecutive Day of Heavy Rainfall in Delhi-NCR

NEW DELHI: Delhi-NCR experienced another bout of heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms on Thursday, marking the second consecutive day of unexpected weather amidst bone-chilling winter temperatures. The downpour, which commenced on Wednesday morning, has led to road blockages and widespread waterlogging across the city, exacerbating the challenges faced by residents already grappling with harsh winter conditions. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the inclement weather is expected to persist throughout the day today.


Impact Across the Region

The heavy rains have affected various parts of the national capital, including RK Puram, Safdarjung, INA market, Sarai Kale Khan, and Lodhi colony, which witnessed substantial rainfall on Wednesday.

Additionally, regions in the Western Himalayas, such as Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, have also experienced rainfall and snowfall, expected to continue over the next few days due to the influence of western disturbances.

Regional Forecast and Outlook

The Regional Meteorological Centre in Delhi has forecasted thunderstorms with light to moderate rainfall in specific areas of Delhi and NCR, including Gurugram and Jhajjar in Haryana. Similarly, parts of Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand are likely to witness light to moderate snowfall in the coming days.

Earlier forecasts by IMD suggested scattered to fairly widespread rainfall over Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, and Delhi, with isolated to scattered rainfall over Uttar Pradesh and East Rajasthan between January 31 and February 1.

Despite the challenging weather conditions, IMD has assured that no cold wave conditions are expected across the country in the next five days, providing some relief to residents amid the inclement weather
